Why Haven't Airbus A-320s Been Grounded?

says...


At the same time, King Air wings were falling off at an alarming rate
and Beech and the FAA did virtually NOTHING to solve that as well. It
took a private company to produce a wing strap for the KA to finally
embarrass Beech into fixing the King Air.


KingAir wings falling off - at an "alarming rate"?
Why am I skeptical about this? Could it be because a database search of
the NTSB from 1962 to present, using several different keyword
combinations produced 0 records of such incidents? Or the Google search,
showing C-130's wings falling off, but not KingAirs?

Can you point us to evidence sufficient to warrant the insinuation that
grounding the entire fleet of KingAirs would have been an appropriate
move?

KingAir wings falling off - at an "alarming rate"?

I think that 1 would be an alarming rate if I happened to be flying it
at the time.

LOL - My thoughts exactly!
Just one is pretty alarming if it involves you directly!

If it was your mother-in-law's plane, no big deal at all.

My mother-in-law is afraid of flying, so I don't have to worry about her
wings falling off. Now if we were talking about misplacing marbles...

Actually, I like my mother-in-law. Now, my *wife's* mother-in-law we could do
without.

KingAir wings falling off - at an "alarming rate"? Because you don't
have any King Air experience???


Could it be because a database search of the NTSB from 1962 to present,
using several different keyword combinations produced 0 records of such
incidents? Ever hear of the "world?"


Or the Google search, showing C-130's wings falling off, but not
KingAirs? You should learn how to "Google!" This is the company
that solved the problem after at least 5 King Airs had their wings fall
off:
