Some bad news. I looked at pics of the outside display aircraft and
they appear to most probably were just have been tied down. There was an
old hurricane trick that used to be used for smaller operational
aircraft to be tied down by putting the aircraft on its belly with gear
up and then tying it down.

Hindsight is 20-20, but I wonder it it wouldn't help to attach stuff to
the wings to make them non-aerodynamic for a strong storm? A series of
strips that would cause them to stall.
