unreal…
I was going to say that the photo of the patch job (missing paint) reminded me alot more of THIS than the other referenced ones (aft bulkhead, door latch)
As an avid fan of Mayday, even watching it while in flight sometimes, I keep hoping that people are learning from these disasters and actually making aviation safer. Unfortunately, it takes one (or several) of these incidents to affect change.
