Snow Collapses Hanger At Dulles

I would guess that someone will, but probably not the original owners. A friend of mine used to fly a Falcon 900 which was brought back from the dead after a runway overrun, which required replacement of the entire wing.

The insurance company totalled it, but some investors bought it, put a new wing on it, flew it a bit, and sold it. It will always be "cheap to buy and cheap to sell" but not necessarily a bad deal to an astute buyer.

Well, they pulled it out, but it's sitting kinda low in the back?

Maybe the shock struts in the main gear have achieved a permanent set after carrying the weight of the roof for a length of time. And is that a dent in the upper fuselage?

 

I don't have anything more interesting to add right now, bu thanks for the pics Robb, please keep them coming

 

I can see where depressurizing the rear struts (and perhaps the rear tires a bit) while pumping up the forward gear could be useful in getting her out from under all of that.

On looking at these pictures, these airplanes might actually be worse than my friend's old damaged Falcon 900. That was a lot of load for a long time, and who knows what the long term characteristics of that metal will be now. I would think they would be hard pressed to find a DER who would sign off that repair.
