I doubt an 18 passenger 1946 seaplane is an Al Qaida target. Radio

I agree, probably a blown engine.


.....and that's exactly why I rarely set foot in an airplane any more. I know
that the mechanic who works on my truck is obsessive about details. As far

drips in their arms. Actually, "assume" is wrong. I was on a USAir commuter
prop plane last year which had bald tires. That's all I need to know.
