I think the name "Flash" Airways would be enough to keep me from embarking.

Center fuel tank "flash" I suppose. This is getting old.

After that Egyptian pilot slammed his plane into the Atlantic a couple of years ago, I'm suspcious of any arab airplane crash

Let me guess.......Less than 10,000 feet and over the coast when they just disappeared from radar paint? Stinger-SAM I'd bet. Complete denial I'm certain.

I recall the Egyptians maintained (and do to this day) that the plane brought down a few years ago by an Egyptian co-pilot (he fought off another pilot on the way down)near Long Island (I think) was also unrelated to terrorism.

Egyptian assessments of what happened aren't worth a damn.

The EgyptAir crash at Tunis May 2002 was a *737.

May 7, 2002

An Egyptair Boeing 737 has crashed on a flight from Cairo to Tunis. Early reports say at least 20 of the 55 passengers and 10 crew survived.

The aircraft came down in heavy fog and rain about four miles from Tunis-Carthage airport.

Airport officials in Tunis are quoted as saying the plane's landing gear had failed to open during the approach to the airport.

The pilot put out a distress call as he was making a second attempt to land and the control tower then lost contact with the plane.
