Privately Operated KC-135 dropped a flap, literally, Ewa Beach, Hawaii

[BonnieLass]

A couple of reports of a KC-135 operated by Metrea Aerospace lost a trailing edge flap. The part fell into the nearby lagoon, no-one was hurt and the part was retrieved by Metrea later on.

I was aware of Omega with the 707's but not Metrea operating the KC-135's. 4 Ex-Singapore examples it appears, new life in the old girls.

One of the Metrea KC-135s attended last year's RIAT at Fairford.
