At Paine Field/Snohomish County in Washington State we parked our Victor on special metal plates to prevent us from sinking into the parking area,
after the previous visiting Victor had done so. We did not have that problem with the VC10.
However the Nav/Rad and Crew Chief did have to walk us for 2 miles from the runway to the parking area to ensure the Underwing Tanks did not hit the Snow Flags.
There was about 6"" clearance.
I was lucky enough to do a total of 5 Airshows at Paine Field and Abbotsfield just across the border in Canada, run by the same commitee and can
recommend them as the best shows to attend as static displays. If you are flying it will curtail your social life!!
