To the best of my knowledge, 99, never had a lycoming glued to it...

I felt the mechanical condition of the aircraft was questionable and the airframe structural integrity was weekend because of all the cycles it has been through." For what it is worth, the reason for the 99L crash was a catastrophic engine failure that occurred without warning. The engine was a stock IO-540 that I think was purchased from Lycoming as a factory reman and was less than a year old. As far as I know, it would have happened in any aircraft and had nothing to do with 99L or its state of maintenance. It's not very common but once in a while there is an accident that has nothing to do with pilot or maintenance error. This was one of them. -- For archives and unsub http://mail.lancaironline.net:81/lists/lml/List.html
