See: http://www.sacskyranch.com/degaussi.htm
and search " degaussing " and " degaussing submarines " etc.
Check any can of beans in your pantry with a small compass to learn that ferrous metal objects soaking in the Earth's magnetic field become magnetic too. You can degauss things locally or globally.
This effect could be minimized by parking your airplane in random compass directions--but it's not usually practical--there is great Navy stuff online where you can learn that ships encountering rough seas get magnetized from having their hull stressed. Same for aircraft, one would suppose.
Philadelphia Experiment anyone?
