Yeah, About That Wing

 

I spent a fair amount of time looking over the photo today (was on Twitter).

Yeah, that's high-grade duck-tape.

According to regulations.....you can do this, and it's 'legal'.

Now if you asked me.....passenger sitting there and seeing this 3 minutes into the flight....it'd scare the crap out of me.

The word is....this was a African airlines (no name job).

Other question here....what triggered the holes?  Bullets?  Rust?

Aircraft wings encase the fuel tanks.
Metal fragments -- shrapnel comes to mind -- passing through the wings tend to shorten the range...
