A$$hats!

DC-3 / C-47 are rare -- really ?? The DST might be rare (as type) but the DC-3's certainly are not anytime endangered

Parts are hard to find for a DC-3 -- again, really

Did not report to a police / file a claim even though it is a felony - really (no camera's to record what goes on on the ramp)

Without a police report, you can not file an insurance report, 15 K worth of damage (??) for some sheet metal work and could not bother to contact the authorities.

Sound more likely wind damage / something being blown by the wind causing control damage.

We did have high winds come through on Monday...

And after this kind of silly criticism, saying that an Warbird owner and operator is a liar, there are peoples who're asking why there is no relevant topics living on this board.

According to DC history site, there is over 1,300+ DC-2 / DC-3 / C-47 / C-53 / C-39 / IL-2 airframes still in existance - so this is definitely not a rare ship. There are also numerous shops (as well as NOS supplies) supplying parts / available for the Douglas fleets - again, not rare or hard to find parts - again true.

I know of no airport (except for small private field) that do not have security including camera (vast majority of airfields were forced after 9-11 to install fencing, lights and active security) - so that statement is true.

I also know of no insurance carrier that will accept a claim for any property damage without some sort of report.

So the only people talking out their ass are those claiming silly criticism or those thinking that some 8 foot tall monster with superhuman strength for their own pleasure, intentionally bent the elevators of a couple of DC-3 in the middle of a wind storm.

Very salty for someone who is very wrong

We have had really ferocious winds here in New England for the past few months. Last week we had gusts up to 60.

I didn't see any photos of the damage so I can't really speak to what caused them with any confidence. But I know that high winds can pick up hefty debris and slam it into parked planes.

I don't think wolf is calling the owner a liar. And I know I'm not.

Cape Cod gets it worse than that sometimes.

Keep it civil, no further warnings will be given.
