Damn, should have asked the wife, she knows everything!!!!!!
Reminds me a little of an incident with the Sycamore that was the gate guard at Middle Wallop.
It was dragged into the sprayshop for a repaint and while there we were tasked with carrrying out some maintenance, such as inflating the oleo's.
We were visited by a enthusiastic officer who had the intention fo getting it flying.
I pointed out that the blades had taken a severe set from years of hanging down and that when laid "flat" the difference between the extremities and the middle was about four feet.
I also demonstrated a lack of structural integrity by putting a finger through the mag structure in several places.
The aircraft in the photo looks great and it will be nice to see back in the air.
