 Bill & Sue,
 
 Egads, what a bummer.
 
 I suggest that you do a Google search for a 360 that had a left wing strike.
 Perhaps something could be worked out..........  You did have  Insurance
 sub-section 31-VII-a.3.8.ii coverage, didn't you (buzzard  collision damage
 covered only to the extent of the buzzard's hospital costs or  terminal
services
 fees, if any)?  Or "buzzard residue  damage liability when over densely
 populated areas except for illegal  flights within the DC-ADIZ"?
 
 
 
 It looks like it is just outboard of the most outboard aileron
 bellcrank/pushrod rib.  Has your outboard fuel tank retained its  integrity?
 Is there
 evidence of delamination in the rib area?  I am  surprised by the obvious
 delamination of the upper skin from the spar  (factory fast build?), back to
the BID
 used to attach the upper skin to the back  of the spar.  Have you noticed
skin
 delaminations from the foam?  It  appears that the bottom of the D-section
 remained firmly attached to the bottom  of the spar.  I also noted with some
 interest that the solid glass leading  edge was distorted enough to create
long
 cracks running with the locations  where the foam starts aft.  Is that black
 stuff carbon?  Not from the  spar, I hope?  How far has the upper skin
 delaminated along  the spar.  Hmmmmm, maybe Mark's suggestion is the best,
"build a new
 wing."
