The FBI is investigating puncture holes on the bellies of two US Airways jets at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport, damage similar to that
recently found on another of its planes in Florida.
US Airways mechanics discovered the damage to the two planes in Charlotte Monday morning on their routine "walk around" maintenance checks, visual
inspections done before every takeoff.
No passengers were in the planes, which were temporarily grounded for repairs.
US Airways, Charlotte's dominant carrier, said the planes had punctures about the same size as holes a screwdriver would make. Airline spokesman
David Castelveter characterized it as minor exterior damage.
