They don’t have ‘spare bolts’ on aircraft...........................

Well, if they were important, they should have tightened them better.

Aircraft structural bolts are supposed to be torqued & safety wired. Loose bolts & parts are securely stored lest they become FOD (foreign object damage), especially in hangars & on taxiways.

Anyway, somebody got a `bolt from the blue’.
