737 Cabriolet
Ladies & Gents,
About 10 years back I remember an incident where an Aloha Airways 737 suffered a major structural failure. This resulted in much of the ac's forward fusulage aft of the flt deck bulkhead and forward of the wing peeling off, leaving the punters somewhat exposed to the elements. If my memory serves me correctly, although the ac was successfully landed, a hostie and a pax or 2 tragicaly lost their lives.
I'd like to mention the incident in a FS presentation. Anyone know of any pics anywhere on the web?
TVM
Regards,
M2

The incident was covered by either FHM or Maxim magazine a while ago (with a surprisingly grown-up approach) in one of those "real life" articles. Might be worth a call to their offices?
Ask them for a free calender while you're on the phone too!

And the aircraft in tact:
N73711
Chilling to read the text from the accident report. I didn't realise he lost an engine as well on final and was full of fuel, with no nose gear safe indication.
