One of the main reasons I subscribe to this site is that there are many wh=
o are much smarter than I on the forum. Hopefully, someone has a suggestio=
n on an off the wall matter.
=20
I park in a large enclosed hangar next to a Lear Jet that has a large high=
 powered Radar Imaging pod on the bottom of the airplane. The company that=
 uses the airplane flies all over the world doing  ground imaging work fro=
m 40,000 feet. I don't know much about how the equipment works and until=
 recently did not care. Due to the economy, the airpane has been sitting=
 for some time. The last 2 weeks however, the company that owns the craft=
 has had people working on the imaging equipment in the hangar.
Yes, this is going somewhere.. Last week I noticed I several areas on my=
 airplane where my white paint was turning yellow. Similar to what you wou=
ld see happen after years of exposure in the sun. Strange thing is that th=
e "yellowing" happend over about 4 days. During this time the high power=
 radar imaging equipment was being worked on. It was told it was also test=
ed in the hangar.=20
My question is for anyone in the group that has an understanding of this=
 type of technology is could this have been the cause of my yellowing pain=
t? The strange part is that, only some places on the airplane turned yello=
w. Right side  elevator, right side of hte canopy frame and the inner wing=
 on the pilots side. To add to the mystery, All of the areas that turned=
 yellow are generally in line from where the suspected paint yellowing rad=
ar emitter would have been. I was told by a representative of the company=
 that it is indeed a powerful radar and that it could not be fully powered=
 up in the hangar as it would do the same thing as a microwave does to any=
one in the room.
If someone has some insight about this stuff, I would love to hear their=
 thoughts on the matter...
=20
Thanks in advance...
Randy Snarr
