Bl00dy Hell
The reason there is an OC problem now is because of the unairworthiness infecting the whole military airfleet
That is some kind of sweeping statement!! And probably a gross over exaggeration. Just think about all those military aircraft out there flying around serially un-airworthy.
I used to fly one type where paperwork grounded the fleet ensuring we delivered NO capability. The F700s ended up so big they had to be split into 2 because of the "husbandry log"; no airworthiness issues recorded, but lots of trivia and aircraft spent weeks, if not months, NOT flying. That's an example of the airworthiness tail wagging the OC dog. I'm beginning to think that Fatter Gator was right.
