G.
but there are times when you just have to accept that someone else knows better.
1. Those that are recycled -
2. Parts manufactures in non-approved facilities and given false papers.
3. Military parts.
4. Scrap parts being re-used after repair by unqualified or uncertified organisations.
The pilot in this case thought he knew better and paid for his arrogance or ignorance, or both, with his life.
Have to disagree with you.
He was arrogant yes (and that's not necessarilly a bad thing), but these parts had nothing to do with the cause of the crash, so perhaps he did know better in regards to the parts fitted?
Obviously he should have known better though not to fly that evening.
Stringfellow,
The pic of the Belgrano looks like the CAA building.
