Lockheed P-2V tanker inspections - update

I reported yesterday on the crack in the wing skin on one of Neptune Aviation's tankers and the FAA EAD. I just read an article from The Missoulian The Missoulian reporting on the crack in the wing skin on one of Neptune's tankers, the FAA Emergency Airworthiness Directive (EAD), and the required inspections. That article, written today (2/9/2012), may be found here.

Updated Feb. 10, 2012: Bill Gabbert of Wildfire Today reported yesterday (Feb. 9, 2012) that Neptunes and Minden's P-2's passed the FAA mandated inspections. The Neptune P-2 with the cracked wing skin is being repaired.
