This extremely dangerous situation with the seat bottom has existed for quite some time, judging by the elongated holes in the aluminum and other wear signs. During that time the plane has gone through a number of "annuals." It was only due to a great amount of luck and conservative flying (no high-speed passes with high-G pullouts, etc.) that the remaining two screws have not given ay. ------------------------------------------------
