Warbird Information Exchange

Fox news reports a hangar collapse and tents down \
Poss 70 people trapped
Aircraft flipped over
Had this happen at a show in Roswell NM
We opened a WW2 hangar and taxied the planes in just prior to WX arriving

I just read it was 7 people injured in a tent collapse with the worst injury being a broken hip. The article did make mention of earlier reports about seventy people trapped in a hangar being false.

Still, hope everyone involved recovers quickly.

I just arrived and no one is being let in as the lots are mud bogs now with stuck cars. I can see some tossed aircraft from the roads. Ugh.

Cessna 195

I was stuck in Exhibit Hanger C when the storm hit. I can tell you that there are numerous experimental planes on there backs or balled up. The largest plane was a Cessna Caravan that was flipped. Several other planes have damaged wings or tail feathers. The only warbirds that I saw was a T-6 and an L-19 that was floating in one of the drainage canals. I think everyone was pretty lucky.
