Go visit Meridian and tell me they push out crap with cracks in the ceiling.  Go visit the gulf and tell me they’re cracking their stuff out in 6000 hours of people moving when utility operators pushing gross weight limits can’t do the same.  Go visit every single bottom barrel mom and pop  ag operator spraying corrosive garbage out of 206s for 8 hours a day and tell me about their incredible maintenance that is the thin line between safe operations and catastrophic failure. You seriously have no idea what you’re talking about.  You think one of the newest and lowest time 206s out there would manifest some fatal flaw crack while it’s flying tours after a major overhaul by a highly reputable repair station when meanwhile tons of us are literally beating the living crap out of these things and they refuse to let us down.


I had a roof so cracked out that it made a 2per banging noise that reverberated through the airframe as soon as I hit 60 knots.  That thing was 55 years old and had 35,000 hard hours on it, and it still got me home just fine every night after hitting gross weight on every lift for 300 cycles a day.  She got retired eventually BUT THE ROOF NEVER RIPPED THE F OFF.


Go work for CNN or shut up with your “3000% folks!” wannabe know-it-all crap.
