What was found

(CAN) ACFT HAD BEEN IN STORAGE FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS. THE ACFT WAS OPERATING ON A FERRY PERMIT IN CRUISE FLIGHT WHEN THE COPILOTS WINDSHIELD CRACKED. THE PILOT DESCENDED AND THEN CONTINUED THE FLIGHT. WE COULD NOT DETERMINE IF THERE WAS ANY PREVOUS DAMAGE AS WE HAD NOT SEEN THIS ACFT BEFORE.
