Zalt, I couldn't agree more with your post above. You can see from my previous posts that this is a subject of great interest to me. How could an aircraft continue to fly after it had actively demonstrated that the extremely remote 'loop hole', under which it had been certified, was actually not actually extremely remote after all. And, worse still continue to fly without immediate modifications, after the earlier incident, leading to a complete loss of an aircraft and multiple fatalities.

It is also extremely worrying that the Canadian navy are getting a militarized version of this same aircraft. How extremely remote is extremely remote when people are firing all sorts of s**t at you. A couple of 0.50" rounds through your MGB casing over water and what happens next?
