Quote I don't care how good the engineers were, I wouldn't fancy flying an aeroplane which had suffered an in-flight structural failure in which the wing fell off, then a parachute deployment, then a drop onto the ground at 20mph.
No one I know would put an aircraft back together if they did not think it was safe to do so, a year or so back I saw a Cirrus writen off not because we were unable to fix it but because it was perceived that the market price for the aircraft would be to low due to "damage history" and not for any good technical reason.
It was a shame to see a good aircraft go to the junk yard for no good reason
