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.
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.
