My parents work for an airline whose name I won’t mention, and because of this, I’ve done a lot of flying. I’ve also done a lot of snooping around. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen tape holding parts of a plane together, and I certainly doubt it will be the last. Duct tape seems to be the weapon of choice, but it’s only used in areas of the plane where passengers wouldn’t normally look (for example, between the plastic wall and the skin of the plane. You can get a good glimpse in there on some models as you enter the plane.)
I FOUND THIS FORWARD VERY FUNNY, ITS LIKE SO TRUE TODAY . YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU COULD DO WITH DUCT TAPE LOL…..

I worked for Boeing. We called duct tape “500 mile an hour” tape.

you know that tape probably isn’t doing anything but holding up a piece of the decorative siding up, it’s not like there’s a hole there that would compromise the integrity of the pressure system.
