## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT RECOVERED 9/90.  HANGARED UNTIL 5/97.  HAIL STORM PUNCHED HOLES IN ALL FABRIC COVERED SURFACES.  SAME MODEL AIRCRAFT WITH 23 YEAR OLD FABRIC HAD NO HOLES AND WAS PARKED ALONG SIDE.  FABRIC APPEARS TO BE WEAK, BUT PUNCH TEST INDICATES GOOD CONDITION.  PAINT IS DARK IN COLOR.  RECOMMEND REVIEW BY STC HOLDER.
