"This was August 8th, 2015... 4 days before a similar event in Chandler (KCHD) that flipped 30 airplanes"

 

Sadly, the official count is 43 destroyed or substantially damaged. At Chandler Air Service, of a fleet of 20, 6 are totaled (including my solo Warrior from 1992), 6 are repairable, 8 OK. TransPac lost all 6 PA28's. I could not find any where on the ramp that was not hit in some way. It really sucks that Mother Nature couldn't have aimed 1/2 mile south...

 

Here's the really scary part for me: the hangar directly next to me had the doors torn clean off. My doors on that side of my hangar attempted the same trick, but my pins held. I had to hammer the man-door latch back into shape to get it open. Had the doors departed, my little CT would have likely been mince meat.

 

Whew. :giggle-3307:
