At this point in life, nothing is surprising...
I'm guessing this Shed will be put back into service soon enough, and it will be a legend wherever it may go...
Aviation Safety Network (ASN) - Air Cargo Carriers Shorts 360 (SD3-60) Gear Up Landing at San Juan, PR

Air Cargo Carriers Shorts SH360 (N744LG, built 1988) was damaged in a belly landing runway 08 at San Juan Intl (TJSJ), Puerto Rico. Flight #SNC787 apparently 'drew' a phallus symbol before reporting a mechanical problem. No one was hurt.https://t.co/uSO1e5hD3P pic.twitter.com/tTXoczq04L

Ahh the shorts.

The box normal airplanes come in.

Plus the only airplane I know of with 2 cockpit doors

Not even an A-380 has two cockpit doors!

Logged 4000 hours in those things, heck of a good bird.

Damage does not look bad at all.

I flew her in combat. My unit was the first Army unit to fly fixed wing NVGs in combat.

So there I was, stationed in Wiesbaden Germany in 2006ish, when some of your buddies landed to spend the night on their way home from Iraq.

They borrowed one of our survival radios to cross the Atlantic because ….. they didn’t have any. I still can’t fathom how anybody would be willing to start such a globe trotting flight without a survival radio of some sort.

I ferried a C-23 across the North Atlantic over to Iraq once. I’ll never do that again!

Plane looks like they strapped a board to the crate the plane was in.

I drank to "black out/where am I" with a group of C-23 pilots.

Nothing like a bunch of ARNG Aviation Dets doing the job that the SPECOPS -130 community was actually funded for.

Belly ups happen. Its a 360.

Welcome to the DOME!

I was there the same time sharing the hangars.

Balad was at it's best those years.

I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of alcohol in our housing units…

I remember one of our C-130 pilots in the unit I was in was selected for the then new C-23 program in the USAF as initial cadre. He went to Shorts for training.
