FEDEX CREW TAKES A RAGGING:
A FedEx crew recently fought off a piece of fabric they didn't cotton to. Crewmembers kept their wits about them and landed their MD-11 safely in Honolulu, Hawaii, after a flight control malfunction that required full left aileron to prevent the plane from rolling over. A post-flight inspection showed three of the right wing spoilers were jammed in the full "up" position because of a rag stuck in a pulley. The MD-11 had recently undergone maintenance and had made nine flights with no problem.
