QUIET WEDNESDAY
Today was prayer and fasting. I did well on the fasting but I wouldn't make a prayer warrior. I spent a couple of hours working on the oral history of Zora Mae.
I found a letter to the editor in the July 6 Aviation Week that agreed with my suspicions about the Air France Flight 447. He said the finding the vertical fin reminded him of the AA Flight 587 that crashed in New York Nov.12, 2001. Both planes had a composite fin that is attached to the fuselage by brackets without a spar that is anchored to the fuselage structure.
It seemed that turbulence stripped the fin off of both aircraft and that a bad design was not corrected after the 2001 crash. He stated that the system reeks of poor design and instructions to not use the rudder in turbulence is not the answer.
He also was concerned about considering this design for competition for the USAF tanker program.
This is the reason that a lot of people won't fly on Airbus 330s.
