A Flap strike? Hmmm…what version of 737 is it? What colour is it (very important!)? Where the flaps fully extended? Are you sure? How qualified are the pilots? Did they have to drive more than 2 hours to get to work that day? How far away was the eye witness? Is the witness a pilot, ‘cause if not why would he know what a flap is?! When was the flap in question last inspected? Were the mechanics fully qualified and certified?
Was it a Port or Starboard flap?
Only once ALL of these questions are answered may someone respond to the RUMOUR itself and provide curious readers feedback. However, if you do dare reply, you better have a PHD in rumourology.
Happy reading to all.
