That Antonov, which is used for long haul flights..probably averages 600 or so cycles/year..whereas a puddle jumper like the Southwest Boeing might do 2000+/year.
Remember way back when the top of the Hawaii Air fuselage came off in mid-air...it was metal fatigue...because that plane did nothing but inter-island hops..IIRC it had over 20,000 cycles.
Yes. I would have to say, Aloha Airlines Flight 243 ranks at the top of the list of bizarre airplane accidents.
95 took off. 94 landed safely. Flight Attendant Clarabelle Lansing was the only fatality; she was swept from her fifth-row seat, and her body was never found. She was a veteran flight attendant of 37 years at the time of the accident. Remember to keep seat belts fastened.
