411A, you are right.
Thank you.
How old were those 707s when the cracking and corrosion were found?
Eight years, on average.
Both TWA and PanAmerican applied the necessary maintenance (straps, patches, then reskinning) prior to those aircraft passing on to other operators (us) who continued to patch/repair/re-skin, as required...this is certainly nothing new.
Now we have CPCP inspections...a superb remedy for the conditions found on older airframes.
The video?
Pure horsepucky....but, it will suck in the uninformed, make no mistake.
Jeez Louise...the Eurolanders will believe anything.
