That is very true, but this "aircraft-grade" moniker has irked me for eons when I hear reference to it. 6061 & 2024 are two very common grades of aluminum, with considerably-different attributes. Both are used extensively in the production of aircraft, but there is no such thing as "Aircraft Grade 6061" as compared to "Regular Old, Non-Airworthy 6061", nor is there any "Plain Ol' Non-Airworthy 2024 Crap" either. The SADDEST part of this is that there are a whole bunch of dumb-assed sheep in this world that allow this sort of BS and thinking to seriously influence their every-day lives. DD
