Ivan Damage to Eglin and Hulburt

Thu Sep 23, 2004 2:41 pm

I found this on a google group....
Can anyone confirm the damage???
Eglin:
The F-104's gear has collapsed, nothing repacking and servicing couldn't cure.
The RF-4C's left wing wasn't locked down so it folded up. Assuming it wasn't a
major slam it willeasily be lowered. The only aircraft that appears damaged is
the B-17G. A tree landed on it's right wing tip. The tree is obscuring the tip,
but I can't imagine anything serious was done.

I don't know about inside since it is not open. There is a piece of roofing
membrane and several pieces of corrugated steel on the grounds so who knows.

Hulburt:
Hurlburt's AirPark took some serious damage. The Porter was overturned and
the O-2 is missing.
