Anyone who knows anything about aircraft will shudder at the way these aircraft were loaded ...

Heck, the airplanes were sitting out in the rain and sun for ages. Setting the wings on the ground and letting them get wet for a few more minutes would cause no appreciable additional damage. Anyone who knows anything about aircraft would know that.
