I would also vote AO40 was not to complex, it was failed by an accident.
Not wishing to bring up bad memories, but two questions:
Did anything other than the plug incident happen? (In other words, did
any systems fail before the explosion?)
Was there a backup bird built of the same design that just might be
flyable if we could find a ride?
