[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1180681, member: 18945"] Hard to say, could be from hailstones. They were built from '76 to '84, meaning the newest airframes are 30 years old. That, is OLD for an aircraft still in active military service. They get a lot of the buckling just from everyday stress and fatigue and saw a lot of the same type lumps and bumps on our CH53Ds that were a lot less than 30 years old--closer to 6 or 7 years old in 1971. The fact that those A-10 airframes survive as well as they have for 3 decades is testament to their design and ruggedness. [/QUOTE]
