Another Ancient Military Plane Grounded
Honeck is once again showing his ignorance when it comes to aircraft.
??? My comments are related to the fact that these planes are old and past due for replacement. The P3 is used for maritime patrol which means it spends a lot of time low and maneuvering over water. This is a corrosive environment and also induces airframe stress. The majority of the P3's in service today were delivered in the mid-70's making the average age 30 years. These aircraft are also maintained to the highest standards Exactly correct -- thank you for restating my point. I'm glad we agree. Or are you saying that grounding the fleet was unnecessary? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
