Re: Determining condition of anodized aluminum

The anodized finish is electro-chemically achieved and won't really wear off except in extreme circumstances, like getting dipped in oven cleaner. If you want to see what it looked like, or close to it, off the factory floor, wipe a section down with WD-40. Or don't, because then you'll be for ever ...

Re: Hello from new 1971 T28 owner in Nashville, TN

Hello Innocent.smith and welcome, I'm a pretty recent member here but have been over at Airforums for awhile.
