Truly amazing that not only did the aircraft not break apart from this, the door STAYED ON! The Precision STC has a max wind limitation of 45 Knots!!! Remarkable engineering here. https://twitter.com/breakingavnews/status/1360663092791808001
G-DHKZ IS in-fact a “PCF” (Precision Converted Freighter)

I know Gary Warner and the gang there personally, and can attest that they’re an incredible American company that produces an awesome freighter. Top notch group over there.
Imagine the damage that could have been done to the empennage if that door separated? Ghastly. Not to mention the stress on the fuselage from twisting force of flight.

As a general rule, it’s bad to TOW aircraft with pressure vessel doors open due to twisting.
