Wing cracked C-5 transports ground in aviation alert
The Air Force grounded its 10 C 5 supertransports amid controversy over their cost. A crack eight to ten inches long was found during wing modifications at Lockheed Georgia in Marietta. The flaw appeared near a wing section that previously showed 125 percent of design load in tests. The plane, tested at Edwards AFB, likely had the crack during cross country flight. Lockheed plans to fly the 11th C 5 without wing braces but the fleet remains grounded until aluminum braces are installed on all aircraft.
