Oh they keep it well. It's just the nature of the beast, isn't it?

Those old birds can be cantankerous to a fair thee well can't they :-))

Yeah, i've takne the paint off in rain lots of times.

Went through hail once. We cracked the outer panes of several screens,
took every single antenna and lamp off the airplane, holed the radome in
many places and trached on fan blade.

The noise of it was unholy. It sounded like a freight train. Crew comms
were impossible. It lasted about a minute, maybe a bit more. Not nice
but we survived it anyway. Ancient old radar wasn't worth the space it
took up.
