Air France plane grounded after technicians noticed 30 screws were missing from wing... after FIVE days of flights
An Air France jet flew for five days before ground crews noticed that 30 screws were missing from one of its wings. The Airbus A340 plane had undergone routine maintenance in China, before flying to Paris and then on to the US before the potentially disastrous blunder was finally spotted.

I flew to Paris on Nov. 20 aboard an Air France 340-300 and flew back on Dec. 2 same type of aircraft from the same airline. Service was excellent indeed, of course flying Business Class makes a big difference but on the return leg I sort of scanned my plane to see if there were any "anomalies" like this, just in case.....
Who services AF aircraft?

Looks like AF is feeling the heat:

As soon as it cools off they will start back there once more.

You get what you pay for. Best check their work from now on.
Maybe an inspection panel from another Air France piece of equipment? We'll never know.
