For that matter, you didn't even want the T-38s parked outside in a
heavy rain or hail storm. The honeycomb wing structure would dimple in
a heartbeat. Surprising that the fleet lasted as long as it did
considering the weather in West and South Texas.

The 80th FTW at Sheppard had many many planes damaged after a particularly bad
hailstorm. Flying hours were really curtailed until they could get some of
those planes fixed. I think this was in the past 5 years..They were pretty
much out of business for a bit
