[Healeys] galloping ghosts

[<healeymanjim@hansencc.net>]

in the early 80s four thunderbirds in their T-38 slammed into the ground north 
of las vegas, killing all four.  investigation revealed a nut had come off and 
lodged in the elevator bellcrank on the lead aircraft.  he was unable to apply 
enough g force to pull out of the dive.  a 2 cent cotter pin had not been put 
in the bolt and the nut came off, falling into the bellcrank.  if it calls for 
a pin, put it in.
