Allied Pilots Association Defends Vandoofus Airlines’ Pilot

Fort Worth, TX – An Allied Pilots Association press release reported that the association believes the Vandoofus Airlines crash was caused by a faulty navigation system and a defective main wing. The association also commended the pilot for doing an excellent job under the circumstances. The pilot’s maneuvers, the press release added, minimized the damage to the aircraft and prevented any casualty on the ground. Meanwhile, a spokesmen for Vandoofus Airlines said the company is disappointed with the out come of its first ever flight but said they are happy the incident did not cause any injuries to the pilot or anyone on the ground. The aircraft has already been repaired by the Vandoofus Engineers and is almost flight-ready. The aircraft’s crank shaft and the propeller was replaced and the engineers are awaiting a new main wing. The spokesmen said the airline is expected to resume schedule flights this week and is negotiating with NTSB officials to lift the flight ban on Vandoofus Airlines. The NTSB is expected to lift the restriction on Vandoofus Airlines once the aircraft is fitted with NTSB approved components. The pilot, who is on vacation in Gastonia, North Carolina, is expected to carry out the first test flight after the only aircraft of the Vandoofus Airline fleet has been repaired.
