lie on the grass under the aeroplane and just look at it.
look all over it.

in the first 15 minutes you will start to notice things.
in the second fifteen minutes you will notice other things.
at the end of a final 15 minutes you will have a quite solid appreciation of the aeroplane.

you'd be amazed at what you pick up on just persisting in looking at it.
I once did precisely that with an A mod C402 at an airstrip on the northern coast of PNG dubbleyew eight, whilst waiting for my passengers to return. Middle of the PNG wet and under the a/c was the coolest place I could find!

About all I can remember now (it was 22 years ago) is that it was 'educational.'
