Aluminum Overcast?

Any chance EAA could book one of the other ride B-17's? Maybe one of the CAF's. Oshkosh won't the same without Aluminum Overcast overhead.

That'll never happen my friend. EAA survived the COVID-19 Plandemic BS, I'm sure they'll survive this issue.

I think there is a possibility there could be two B-17's on the field during Oshkosh, which would be way cool!! Also Chris Henry will be doing a presentation on Aluminum Overcast which will be cool.

I find this interesting that there is an issue in a wing so soon after having the major AD inspection done to the spars and associated structure.

I wouldn't read anything into it, if it was not a direct part of the inspection. I've seen maintenance induced secondary failures in new aircraft with little to no flight time.

Great news, Yankee Lady will be doing rides!
