I have a question that as made me curious. Why do pilots fly their airplanes out to burning man? From what I have heard the dust out there is highly corrosive and gets into everything. Why would people who have invested money into expensive assets take their planes into an environment that could end up eating the plane from the inside out. My father has a couple of classic cars that he refuses to park under a certain tree at home because it drips a sap and he will not allow that to happen to his paint job that he spent time and money on. I would think if you took pride into your hobby no matter if it is classic cars or expensive airplanes that you would try to limit the exposure when possible. I find it strange that people would take something worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and then fly it into a known highly corrosive environment that a simple wash when you get home is not going to remove that dust from all the little crevices that it got into.
Just curious....
