I have been in excess of 500 stalls in commercial aircraft(not flying). Over half at heavy aft CG, flaps and gear down. Half of those being wind ups. I have seen and heard noises coming from airplanes that 98% of pilots will, luckily, never hear or feel during their careers. I have watched rivets popping up out of wing skins, saw flames shooting forward out of engines as they swing back and forth and I have sat in the cockpit watching the pilots violently twisting the controls after one wings breaks early and the aircraft rolls over on its back and nothing but light covers and flaps delaminating(a bit). Nothing ever broke off, even in a 727(if you know stalls then you understand).
I just can't see how a pilot fighting a bit of turbulence can bust his airplane. If they broke that easy I wouldn't be here and you guys would be loosing friends on a daily basis. It just makes no sense to me. <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
