## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING THE IN HOUSE REQUIRED 10 YEAR STRUCTURAL INSPECTION & REPAIR PROGRAM, SIRP, THE FABRIC WAS REMOVED FROM THE WINGS & A CRACK APPROX 1 1/4" LONG WAS DISCOVERED ON THE TOP OF THE INBD FUEL TANK.  THE FABRIC HAD LAST BEEN REMOVED OVER THE WINTER OF 2000 - 01.  AT THAT TIME THE FUEL TANKS WERE REMOVED FROM THE ACFT & INSPECTED SERVICEABLE.  THE WINGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH NEW WINGS FROM MFG WITH THE NEW METAL SPARS IN THE PAST.
