Florida's Warbird damage

Bad news – I sooo nearly took the opportunity to have a T-6 flight when we visited Tom Reilly’s place. Guess I’ll have to put off that return trip. Good luck on getting things back in the air.
Any news on Stallion 51? Did they get away with no damage?

Reckon the need to buy up some of our redundant HAS’s to store their aircraft in for any future windy days!!

Cheers. Thank goodness fror that.

There is a full report on WIX about what happened at the Weeks Museum. The Sunderland escaped damage…just.

Dave

Does anyone know whether the Sunderland sustained any damage at all? I hope not.

A sad site. 🙁

Paul is referring to the fact that this particular B-17 was severely damaged by a hurricane whilst in the Bradley Air Museum in 1979, but survived unscathed on this occasion.
No B-17 was damaged on this occasion

It was actually damaged by a tornado in 1979…story has it that it was hit by an upside down HU-16..a rare C-124 was also lost.

Ah yes – I had forgotten about that!

Thanks for clearing that one up!

I wonder where she was hiding to escape?

Paul – which B17 got damaged? – I presume the other one at in Toms hanger?

So that is ‘1 all’ then in that particular B-17 verses Hurricanes match so far..

Unscathed so I heard.

One lucky B-17

Any news on the B17 Liberty Belle which is nearing completion outside Tom’s Place????
