A "flapper"? Part of a wing? An "airport official" described is as a flapper? I'm no pilot, but I've never heard of a flapper, other than a valve inside the fuel tanks.

WPXI managed to refer to it as a flap, a rudder, and a flapper, all within 6 sentences. Do they have Fedko writing news stories now....
