Yes, aeroplanes can be jinxed. they can also be blessed. I am told gremlins (not those Speilberg things; the WW II variety) are often involved. If you've ruled out >every< discernible defect, and kindness to the aircraft doesn't hack it, there's nothing wrong with checking with the local clergy or a good occultist for a tiny exorcism. I hear they can work wonders. But kindness to the airplane's the best rule. Steve
