Uh, ok. Perhaps this is something the AOPA is attempting to have changed?
That way, if parts start to fly off old planes, there will be no
violation? Its part of their attack on the FAA proposed study of
airworthiness of old planes (complete coverage in av news, with EAA
disagreeing with The Destroyer, btw....)?

Ya know Loon, even if you don't agree with every position an
association takes on an issue, if they advocate for you, you're almost
obliged to support them. As a firearms owner I don't agree with every
position the NRA takes, but nobody else is sticking up for my right to
continue to own guns. Same reasoning applies to AOPA.

BTW, if you're greatly concerned about airworthiness of old planes,
(and parts falling off) I hope you didn't fly NWA out to California.
Their DC-9 fleet was mostly built in the late 60's ; )
