Hey Ed.....hand me the duct tape <g> United Faces $800,000 Fine Over Tape On Wings 'Speed Tape' Use Common For Temporary Fixes POSTED: 2:48 p.m. EST December 4, 2002 CHICAGO -- The Federal Aviation Administration is proposing an $805,000 fine for United Airlines. The agency says the air carrier flew planes that were not in "airworthy condition." The FAA says the airline violated agency regulations when it flew three Boeing jets that had been improperly fixed to repair small holes on their wings. The Washington Post reported that a specialized tape was used to patch the holes. The paper says so-called "speed tape" is a common, though temporary, fix in the airline industry for small holes. * A United spokesman told the Post the matter does not amount to an airworthiness issue, and that no passengers were ever in danger. The tape was used on holes that were bigger and closer to the edge than regulations allow, according to the newspaper. _______________________________________________________________ *OH GOOD! Can't wait to fly again. Come to think of it tape worked ok on my kites too
