There are procedures and tools for determining fatigue of critical components.  There's a way to use X-rays to examine aluminum structures for micro-cracks before they can grow into a serious problem, for instance.
 
Be interesting to hear what the problem is here.  Most likely, they'll figure it out, fix it, and have them all back in the air.  Similar things happened to USAF F-15s a while back due to problems with fatigue on the vertical stabs.

I am humbled and awed by the community we've created so far. As an admin, I feel most like I am a spectator to the better posters on the forum who keep us going and keep the signal to noise ratio high.
 
Thanks, everyone. It means a great deal.

I mean, I can make as many alt accounts as I want, just to like Tied's photo posts, but some nagging part of my mind is holding me back from doing it. Says it would be "lowbrow" or something.

Bravo, Tied.

Tied. I know sometimes it must be frustrating putting together these awesome photo montages here and at the WoT forums and they don't create a lot of conversation. I think it is in part because they are so God damn awesome that all that I know I can do is say, "Wow. Where the hell did that broad 1970s Soviet stereotype find these?"
