• Damage History?  Yes.  Here is what the owner has to say.  Of note, he owns an aircraft maintenance facility.

  “From the 1965 337 it would appear to be ground loop repair in 1965, but that is just a guess.  All the work was performed in appropriate jig fixtures and the result looks as good as factory.  I found only three rivets that I disliked on the repairs, but the repairs are indistinguishable from factory work.”
