WOWOWOW

Looks like it is just an aerodynamic fairing over the flap actuating mechanism, nothing structural. Probably more danger to someone on the ground if fell off and hit them than to anyone on the airplane.

Moose you must be great to fly with if something goes wrong, I would be crapping my pants if I saw that out the window

Love that jet but two port side wing issues in a 2 month timeframe? (Australia a few weeks ago)
