Hmmm.... high time airframe. Wonder how the rest of it was taken care of.

185s DHC2s etc arnt really judged the same as 172s and Bos and the like when it comes to airframe time and damage history

Besides everyone here tells me that letting a plane sit makes it turn to dust

I'd imagine since it belonged to the government it was well taken care of, I mean what would your plane look like if you could use other people's money to pay for your MX!

Throw a wheel on it, straighten the wing out with a come-a-long, and a little duct tape around the windshield, and you are good to go!

It still has 70 gallons of fuel in it, a little duct tape, some JB weld, and you could be flying that afternoon.

Or bend the other wing up and have the only gull wing 185 in your neighborhood....
