I was surprized to see her flying so soon, figuring the NTSB would have her impounded, for investigation. I guess though, it was a pretty cut and dry case, being the plane was written up for the very same problem, the day before. I wonder where that mechanic who signed off on it is today!!! I have to admit, takeoff was a litle more apprehensive than usual!!

Probably just a strut repack, since IIRC all previous incidents of this type on this type aircraft were due to improper maintenance/manuals during a strut repack. Even if the strut was changed, the strut in question will, if not already, be overhauled and put back into the system. If every little incident caused an aircraft to be impounded for a investigation. There wouldn't be any aircraft to fly. This incident wasn't the first of it's type, just happened to be "NEWS at 11!" and blow completely out of proportion.http://publish.hometown.aol.com/p3superb/i...s/sign_name.jpg
