Wing section from this aircraft spotted at American Aero Services at New Smyrna Beach airport KEVB, Wednesday, April 5th, 2023 by Dan Marovitch - At the time I took the picture I didn't know about the incident, but the other side of the wing was wrinkled pretty bad and it was more visibly obviously bent upward at the outboard 6 feet or so.
