Hi all,
Just wanted to hear some stories about some unfortunate hangar rash events. Anyone have any good stories so we can all learn from your experiences? I'll go first:
While picking up a Falcon 10 at an MRO (who shall remain nameless), I had the opportunity to talk to an A&P who was working on the port wing of a Falcon 50. He had the wing about as disemboweled as it can get so I asked him what type of inspection or modification it was receiving. He looked at me and shook his head with a smile and revealed that the wing was being repaired because the technician installing the new interior used the wing as a workbench to drill 40 pilot-holes into some cabinetry. The A&P said the pilot-holes in the cabinetry turned out great but the 40 holes through the skin of the wing were not well received.
Who's next???
