I was just passing on the news report about the NTSB. I
don't know if any of the cracks in the spar actually caused
the right wing to break. I have not seen any detailed
photos of the wing, the attach points or the spar.

Has anybody heard any reports about the inspections on the
remainder of the Chalk fleet?

I presume that the NTSB report will take a year, do you
think Chalks' will be able to fly before the final report?
