” Piece of Delta airplane wing plummets onto NC driveway mid-flight — and crew had no idea until they landed. “

That’s what you call going on a wing and a prayer.

The pilots were winging it when the piece fell off.

No one made a flap of it until they landed.

They landed okay. So flaps must be optional equipment obviously employed by
the airlines to raise the prices of fares. Unnecessary.

It’s so weird how all these airline mishaps began right after trumps inauguration.
