So I ve been watching the whole Charley hurricane thing on Fox and I can't believe how many piled up GA planes I've seen on the news. Most with fuselages bent in half and fun stuff like that. What pisses me off is that hurricanes are forcasted days in advance. Hello! did they think to fly them out of there to the panhandle or someplace safe? No, now the insurance companies will have total most of them and raise rates to compensate for it.

Its not like planes are in mass production anymore these days like back in the 70's. We gotta protect what we got instead of totaling and parting them out cause someone was to lazy to fly it out. Heck all they gotta do is call up Flight Safety or Pan Am for some dudes to ferry them, that would be like throwing meat to ravenous dogs for low-timers looking for some time.

I can't believe what I just read. How dare you rant about something as shallow as a few bent and totalled GA airplanes. Have you actually seen the damage that this hurricane has done? How many people lost their homes? How many people killed? Even the people in shelters weren't safe. The big weather GURU'S predicted Charley to go to Tampa so people in Tampa where evac'd but Charley tore straight through Punta Gorda instead. Charley was supposed to be a Category 2 but when it arrived on shore it was a Category 4, Hurricane Andrew was a CAT 4 in 1992 and I'm guessing you didn't see the damage that storm produced. Bro please!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif[/img]
