The missing panel was at first identified as a wing to body faring but Simon's picture in his report appears to be gear door.
The door encloses the gear strut and parts of the retraction mechanism while the main gear wheels remain exposed.

Pitbulls and Pitbull mixes are the top breed that shows up at the animal shelters here.

There are numerous rescues that try to help there dogs but my guess they make up a large part of the animals that are put down by Animal Control.

And I wonder - she/they lied, it's proven and the show goes on as if nothing happened. Same with some politicians. How can it be?
