I think two of them are being sourced from
used airframes

Bing,
"...it's hard to develop fatigue cracks in something that isn't being used."
Oh I don't know, they found fatigue cracks in Valiant main spars in store that had never been used during the Valiant grounding.

Wee Monkey. Oh please. There’s no being “smug”. I quote a bare fact. If you know otherwise, please do tell.

You keep quoting the NG. The P-8 is not an NG. The centre section is completely different. If you care to do some research, available on open source, this is readily apparent. The “pickle fork” is completely different. You need to stop putting false facts on a public forum with wrong information. It’s irresponsible in my opinion, and factually wrong. I think you may be putting folks against the P-8 for no reason at all.

OK. I'll take your word for it then.
