I have, too. Maybe I’m still in denial over this dark magic, but I still think just about anything can be successfully stored, using proper tested procedures. Regarding fluids, fuel, batteries, tires, etc. Can’t imagine how complicated it is for a million dollar fighter jet, though. But they’re probably built tough, and not full of cheap materials that disintegrate (unlike my old car).
