Hi All,
Just got off the phone with WEAR TV3 a Local station in Pensacola. the news does’nt sound good at all. The area that NAS Pensacola is in substand Hurrican Force Winds and Rains for three or four Hours. The person told me that they plan on sending a crew over to NAS to check out things and will give me a call on Friday. Its 11:45 PM here right now so I hope to know something by 4PM my time tommorrow.
Also Wix memember Owen Miller gave me a call to say that he survived Ivan the Eye past right over him some water damage but all and all ok. The USS Alabama fair alright but a road and bridge near by were taken out.
As soon as I hear something I’ll post it, wellits off to Bed for the Crazyone.
Cheers Crazymainer

Update
Hi All,
Well I just got off the phone with an reporter from the local ABC news who had a bus tour of the damage at NAS Pensacola.
The MAin Musuem Build survived with some roft damage but it appears that the inside aircraft are alright. Now for the outside stuff, she said she thought that about a dozon aircraft reeived some sort of damage and she sttaed that she say some that had there wings pulled off.She also said that most of the damage parts are laying near said aircraft. She didn’t know what type and when I gave the PAO a call all I got was a recording.
I do know that the Blue’s have been order home and that they are most likely be TDY at NAS New Orleans till there section can be repair. Most of the active duty hangers receive some sort of damage. All of the Hangers at Witing Field lost their roofs.
As foir Eglin AFB Air Mueum she said that part of Florida wasn’t hit as hard as Pensacola. Also the USS Alabama park came through OK thou a the Veitnam Huey got blown off the Pike and a corner of the Mueum build was ripe open other then that its fine.
If I hear anything new I’ll post it.
Cheers Crazymainer
