The wrinkle does look scary. I'd love to hear what the mechanic has to say. I wonder if Cessna will make new wings for out planes? If so, will that reset the spare inspection clock?

Now that AVGAS is $6/gallon, it is too expensive to throw away. The reality is the fuel you purchased meets the highest quality from the point of sale. It doesn't "go bad" just because it is in...

You're on the right track. My understanding is the 20K limit was based on "newer" certification requirements back in the early 70's. But you're right, the airplane could fly higher, but not...

A small point of order. The O-2's did fly across to Nam...via Hawaii. However, that was 40+ years ago when the airplanes were new. Also, it is my understanding a C-130 led the way across the ocean...

Christmas Island is West of Australia, so I'm not sure the routing is Hawaii to Christmas Island. The problem is 100LL West of Hawaii...but plenty of H2O.

Personally, the safest way is Alaska,...

This almost seems like a short in the wire. I'd look around where the mains rotate and where the nose gear swivels.

I was reading the spar AD again. I noticed it references the Cessna Multi-Engine Service Letter ME78-2 for some details. Does anyone have a copy of this service letter that they could post?
