Look at that hanger...

 

[PapaHotel]

Been several years since I've been there.
Simply devastating.

Ouch. Why weren't those planes moved out of the region?

Happens all the time.

Owners are lazy, they don't give a sh!t, or they have plenty of insurance.

Seen it in the past:
Hurrican Hugo came-a-looking for ripe meat...Planes not being tied down and owners counting on a last minute sharp turns away from folks and their toys.

Not so, Mr. Hugo took out most of the planes I was driving a few years earlier, Aero Virgin Island's DC-3s...The company went T/U after that one.

Smarter Airlines like Eastern Metro Express, in the same neigborhood flew em out.
Not rocket science, the hurricane moves @ 15 MPH, the airplanes 10 times that speed....ya can play cat and mouse all day.

Sailboats on the other hand moves @ 6 MPH or so and ain't got no choice ir God's wrath comes a-visiting...Go to church folks, it may be an investment in the future....Hallelujah

I wonder if they still have that awesome 88 Chrysler mini-van??? It would be a shame if they lost it.

Let's see, move family or planes?

Or

Let's see, move family or planes?

With the backups on the highways, put your family in the plane and fly both out.

Don't worry, old crew cars somehow survive.

 

[Inconceivable]

No doubt Loepke will too. I always thought rats were the first off of a ship.

Any pics of the air carrier terminal? All my GPT turns have been canceled for Sep.

Thanks

It looks like the owners were ready to move on to another aircraft.

Have you ever heard of aircraft owners who fly their aircraft into the path of a hurricane only to leave them on the ramp with no tie downs?

Holy cow. I remember that van for some reason. Maybe it was the smell? Kinda smelled like my mom's old '74 Monte Carlo. It's true. Crew cars like that are indestructible... made from black boxes, I believe.
