     @AWIVR Well I doubt the engineers planned on them making it a full century of use. Back then, you’d be replacing your fleet every 5 years for performance increases

     @AWIVR As the fleet ages everything’s got a wing spar issue. Hell, that crash in florida was a 15 yo Arrow, IIRC. Not that old but still came off in flight

     @WashedOutGundamPilot the pragmatic solution to the 18's spar issue is a huge steel strap going across the belly of the aircraft
     
     B-17's just had an AD about their spars too.
