• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I was quite shocked about the Southwest Airlines-incident, where the fuselage ruptured and left a gaping hole in the roof. I thought this was a unique happening, but checking the internett, I learned that this has happened several times:


The last Southwest incident: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest_Airlines_Flight_812


Can you believe they actually has had a similar event: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest_Airlines_Flight_2294


The worst incident of this kind I guess; Aloha Airlines Flight 243: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloha_Airlines_Flight_243


Qantas Flight 30: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qantas_Flight_30


China Airlines Flight 611: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Airlines_Flight_611


And these examples are just a few... Scary!
