One of the main issues is the corrosion damage in the aircraft. Another of the main issues is widespread fatigue damage. The presence of either of these problems could be life limiting or, at least, incur a significant economic impact to correct the problem. It is the purpose of this paper to examine the life extension issues related to structural integrity for the C-141 aircraft
