Corrosion is always a problem here with any aircraft but suprising when they are operated regularly all the mositure gets driven out and they probably get washed and cleaned more here than other countries
When they are parked outdoors and not used thats when the big problems begin. More than 3 years and generally an aircraft will be too far gone. I can date how long an aircraft has been parked by the mould growing on the skin.
The smell I really hate is humidity mixed in with residual chemical toilet smells when the aircraft has been closed for months , smells like aircraft death (mixed in with old baby nappies).
SNOW IN INDONESIA ... not a problem , snow here is pre-melted (never gets below 22 or 23 deg C at any time of the year) however the rain can be something else.
