Hi Paul,

I am up at Lincoln Airport and are planning to fly some young eagles.  I
met a gentleman who came into Sacramento on a Continental airlines
flight.  He was surprised to see duct tape on the wing.

Probably some mechanic forgot to remove it after maintenance.
Makes you wonder about who does the work inspection.  Either that or
it is structual:)

Doug in Lincoln.

That is called speed tape and it is made from rather thick aluminum foil.
It is legal but it must be inspected after each landing according to Robin.

Where is Lincoln?
