no one noticed the plane break up

There's an FAA AD - AD 95-12-01 - that relates to increased inspection levels of wing forward spar fuselage attachment assembly on the Pawnee - especially when the Pawnee has been used in some types of ag work.

 

Some of the commentors indicate the mandated FAA PA-25 inspection is not strict enough.

Did my early cotton spraying in a Pawnee, and of course in the early 70s they were in good shape. Get a few thousand litres of corrosive spray and solids dust through them, x 20 years, and the corrosion runs wild. In any event, no sane Aggie would do a rolling pull up like that as it really stresses things.
