Any more news on this? I can't open the link from outside the US unfortunately. The T-33 at Frontiers of Flight doesn't look happy.

Fort Worth Aviation Museum:
AH-1 static knocked over and 'scuffed'
OH-58 static damaged (was mounted on trailer, looks like the trailer frame needs to be replaced from the article)
O-1 flying fuselage and wings damaged
Five other planes have minimal damage

Frontiers of Flight:
T-33 static damaged ("holes and gashes, nothing too major")
Hanger siding damaged

Thanks! Not as bad as I feared, but still a shame that it happened.
