              What a bad week. I would not be surprised if there was a fleet wide grounding of planes and massive inspections not to mention the massive numbers of heads that will roll as a result of their investigations. Maintenance crews and their leaders & bosses must be filled with trepidation right now.

                Blademaster,

                I would not guarantee that, mainly because the tanker fleet is stretched to meet global missions. And while aircraft deaths are horrible we tend to find the fault and fix it.

                We don't go in for the scorched earth method when it comes to fixing propblems.

                And lets not forget one was a civilian airframe.
