I did read online that the Pensacola Naval Air Museum hit by Hurricane Ivan did well, with only 2 outside aircraft getting minor damage a week ago. Considering what happened right around them, including on the naval base, they are very lucky!
Hi China Clipper,
The Following aircraft have received damage at the Museum.
R4D Que Sere Ra severally damage right wing completly ripe off the airframe
PB4Y lost #3 engine and the plane was push into three other aircraft
A-6 Lost canopy also Left wing was folded over and back of the plane
A-3 Whale was push into the back of the C-54
E-1 Left wing ripe off at the fold
UnKnow Aircraft next to the SNB had right wing ripe off and tail section torn and twisted
F-4 Had right wing damage
S-2 and P2v hit by the PB4Y
PBY was move about 35% from its tie down
P-3 Protype lost its rudder
Of the above aircraft at least four have been severly damage and all of the outside aircraft have siome sort of wind damage.
If you go to the wix forum look up Naval Air Museum overhead shot it shows the whole ramp.
