Greetings all,
Anyone out there familiar with 747 Aircraft construction? I work on the former 
Plattsburgh NY Airbase and there is an old 747 that is in the process of being 
scraped. The complete Airframe is going to be chopped up for scrap. Anyone know 
the alloy and material thickness? Approximate distance between the ribs? Is it 
compatible with what is used on our vintage units? I have to do some repairs on 
one of my trailers and thought this might be a good source of aluminum.  It may 
be far more trouble than it's worth but I thought I'd look into it.
Thanks very much,
Colin Hyde
