Outdoor Display Help Needed

Wed May 03, 2006 9:01 am

Hi guys;
I hope some of you may be able to help me with this one.

I need to know if anybody has info and photos on the display of aircraft on poles and outdoors that have been severly damaged because they were on outdoor display.

By this I mean, weather related damage by high winds or tree limbs, collision damage by vehicles, corrosion damage etc. I especially need to know if any that have been damaged have been scraped because of the damage.

I realize the differences in climate; ie. northern outdoor display versus desert display, salt environment versus no salt, all come in to play on what happens to an airframe when on outdoor display.

I know of a few off hand, but I need some extra ammunition for a project and I'm hoping that some of you have some answers and photos.
Thanks a bunch.
Blue skies,
Jerry
