The strange thing about the hole that caused the emergency landing of Southwest's flight 812 on April 1 is that it occurred in a plane too young for that kind of problem. The plane is a Boeing 737-300, it's 15 years old, and Boeing says that model should withstand many more than the roughly 40,000 takeoffs and landings, or flight cycles, that this particular plane had completed.
Boeing engineers had anticipated the aluminum skin and "lap joints" on certain Boeing 737s would need to be inspected for cracks after roughly 60,000 take-off and landing cycles, but the company drastically altered that estimate in the wake of the fuselage rupture on a Southwest Airlines flight with only 39,000 cycles.

This time last year, Boeing's F-15 production line, which is housed in a beige, dreary building on the outskirts of Lambert-St. Louis International Airport, was on the verge of shutting down. The F-15 is an old jet, first designed in the 1970s to outmaneuver Soviet MiGs. It has long been surpassed by more advanced rivals, and the U.S. military hasn't bought a new one since 2001. When production slowed to a trickle a few years ago, a pair of orders from Korea and Singapore kept the line alive, barely, and it has been churning out about one F-15 a month since then. Local politicians fretted that Boeing would have to close the production line, eliminating hundreds of jobs and delivering a blow to the struggling regional economy.
