I was more or less kidding because it happened 9 years ago and I would think that some farmer found it and/or ran over it with his tractor.
The story is we were flying the 1900 from CLE-FWA. On the descent, felt a slight yaw and we didn't think much about it. A few minutes later, the CA looks out his window and notices the engine cowling blew off. We landed without incident and the last pax says, "hey, you lost a hub cab a while back." We figured everyone would say something because it's pretty obvious what the problem was. Anyway, we determined that one mechanic had started to work on a write-up from our previous flight when another mechanic instructed the him that the write-up was on #2, not #1. So we think he forgot to re-latch the cowling on #1.
... and now you know the rest of the story. Paul Harvey... Good day.
