Only after Lowry's death did the Air Force begin making changes to eliminate the problem. Two weeks later, it emphasized to all F-15 pilots and maintainers the importance of checking flap movements just before takeoff.

Like Helms, Funderburk thinks food stamps are wasteful--as is aid to countries that are not our friends. Democrats determined to get their seat back hope that the 1995 flap over an auto accident--the Congressman pleaded no contest to running a truck off the road--will derail...
