It was obviously a "good landing".

Or is this the result of a bomb attack to the airfield?

This was a replacement a/c for the 354th FG and was wrecked by the ferry pilot upon landing. :?

As John Wayne would say, "termites". The mechanic was probably told, have it ready for the mission in the morning! :lol:

Now if you're talking about DUCK tape--sure, but that was for fancy repair stations in rear areas. :wink:
