Bingo
Kim Geyer, you win. The prize is a stay at a Trump Hotel. This airplane has Flint tip tanks and the people at Flint are very helpful. Two years ago, you may recall, that Aviation Enterprises was required to pull their tip tanks. At that time, the Feds required a strengthening of wings of earlier 337's, the ones with the smaller tanks, if they had Flint Tip tanks. The straps are the only way Flint could discover to resolve the problem They were not required to have the tanks but they were required if you put fuel into the tanks. So, that mystery is solved. I don't like the looks of them one bit but now that there is an explanation, I don't feel quite as bad about them as I did.
Thank you all for your help.
