I believe this aircraft would probably need to be completely dismantled in order to locate all the major faults with the structure. Every time I saw a closeup of the aircraft, there was stability bars between the main landing gear. Does this hint towards the notion that the aircraft had a weak restoration?
I believe I remember reading that the centersection spar had LOTS of issues with corrosion. I am sure that bar is there to help spread the load off her back since its on its gear.
