I love photos like these and I still would fly any day over driving. |
Photo comment states ground crew forgot to close a pannel in the cowling and it ripped off during flight.
"A mechanic stated he opened the fan cowl for the No. 1 engine prior to the flight, and he could not recall if the cowl doors were fully latched"
Anyhow...... no big deal, just don't use trust reverse on touch down
