#2 These two birds aren't the only ones doing the high altitude/high G thing; was the valve redesigned for these two? and why did this never show up on earlier a/c; F-14, F-111(maybe a stretch), any of the Century series fighters, etc? that is one piece of this tragic puzzle i haven't heard yet. glad they found the cause.
