Well, no hangar space was left (they put the two Cirrus planes and the Citabria in the one they owned) at ORL, plus they gave the owners of the planes the option of flying them out. Since Air Orlando doesn't OWN any of those, they can't just take them out of the state. Plus, until yesterday afternoon, the storm was SUPPOSED to go through Tampa and Ocala. At worst we would've seen 45 mph winds, not the 105 we got. From the look of things, not sure if the hangars would've helped or hurt. Our manitenance hangar collapsed, taking a few more 172s and our one other Seneca with it.

It did make an unexpected shift... I'm here about 6 miles North east of Charleston and we barely got a rain shower today as it went past. I haven't seen how my airport is yet, it's alot closer to where the charley went through. It actually went right over our practice area.

It's just a shame to see all those planes destroyed.

It was weird how the Katana didn't get touched though. I know they are tough planes, but yeesh [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
