i don't think it was too much,
he found it laying in out in a museum or something, iirc it wasn't in a very good shape.
they used it for training of some sort that didn't make it look any better,
and that is after it was cut off a plane that crashed after landing or takeoff or something like that

actually Idekkers...that plane has a very interesting back story...here it is about halfway down the page under the March 26, 2006 update http://www.f15sim.com/pre_blog_news-1.html.... it's nickname is "Shrimp boat" and at the time it crashed it had just been completely overhauled and had a fresh paintjob.  The crash happened during an airshow.
