Boeing 737-300 operators concern

BOEING 737-300 operators are keeping a careful watch after an aircraft flown by Southwest Airlines lost a 1ft x 1ft roof panel near the tailfin when in flight last week.  Oxygen masks were dropped and the plane made a safe emergency landing in West Virginia.  No other problems were found in the airline’s similar -300s.  The US National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration are looking into the incident.  No passengers or crew were injured.  The -300 was delivered at the end of 1996. www.boeing.com/commercial
