[QUOTE="Ruralbrownman, post: 114523, member: 6126"] dragracer66 asks why P5's are dangerous now ? The reason is quite simple , and it has nothing to do with the abilities of our mechanics who are all to often forced to repair package cars with tarp starps and duct tape, most P5 and P6's are getting close to 20 to 25 years old. When new they were ok vehicles but wear and tear have taken there toll , especially in the rural centers where they run about 170 to 250 miles a day , and the outlying center usually never get them new. Yes you can change engines and transmission etc. , but the frame and other parts and still original. What will it take , a fatality before we junk them? But then we need more airplanes , because we are constantly told we dont make any money on ground anymore!!! [/QUOTE]
