Says the guy raining Piper oil doors down on the roof of the California
Crippled Children's Orphanage For the Blind.

Steve, another T-34 in the driveway needs some hinge work.

Oil door hinges are one thing, the ones holding a T-34 wing together are
quite another!!!

A few corrections: It would be "the guy raining Piper oil doors down on
the roof of the Nevada Crippled Children's Orphanage For the Blind,
located on the runway at Minden."

Over state lines. Hmm, now she's a federal matter!

Did you approve of their wing spar solution in the photo?

That is 100% what the door hinge looked like on the, um ...Adam A-700, A-500
or the HondJet at OSH??? Can't remember what one I saw it on now. It was in
AeroShell Square. One of those planes had a "pre-production" (the guy called
it) piece of 3/4" iron bolted to the side of the fuselage working the door.

It might as well have been an unpainted 2x4, it was that out of place ...but
I appreciate the effort - we'll deal with that later, let's get it to OSH!!

Anyone else see it on whatever plane?

Looks like a field repair so the wings could be put on for static
display. Maybe the wing spar was cut to make the airframe could not be
flown again?

Didn't see it at OSH, but I remember you telling us about it. You
should see what some of the homebuilts do to get there!

Whatever it is, that's not a T-34. Looks more like an old Cougar or something
like it.

Geeze, a guy looses one teeny tiny Arrow oil door on a runway and it
sounds like some sort of TSA issue. I'll have you know I'm flight
testing a certain RV builder's riveting ability. Those rivets have
probably 70-75 hours on them and they're holding up just fine.
