WINO -

There are still rudder problems being reported and covered up. Granted they are not as radical.

The Seattle times documented the fact that the FAA was keenly aware of the rudder actuator problem for years - yet hid the flight test data, allowed the Boeing simulator paramaters to be skewed and did nothing, while being 'in-the-know,' the entire time.

'Hoot' Gibson's 727 tumble was one of the first rudder hard-over problems. Boy, did they sandbag him!

That's hardly to be addressed as responsive.
