| jim minnick , MT | While I was in the army at Marfa tex we had about 100 at17 planes and all got wiped out one day in a big hail storm, We taxied them all up in one spot and they brought civilian help in and completely recovered them and changed most of the wing leading edges . Took several months to do this The other bases sent us all rhere junk so we could keep going. That was a long time ago.
