## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE ONLY EXPLANATION WE HAVE FOR THIS BURNED AREA COMES FROM THE FEW TIMES THIS AIRCRAFT HAS BEEN PARKED OUTSIDE, OR DURING FLIGHT. IT MIGHT SOUND CRAZY, BUT SUNLIGHT MUST HIT THE GLASS AT THE RIGHT PERFECT ANGLE, BUNDLE THE LIGHT LIKE A MAGNIFYING GLASS AND THEN HIT THE VINYL BEFORE AIRCRAFT WAS REBUILT IN 1996.
