Tornado Hits ERAU

This just happened Christmas Day.... very sad indeed. Those airplanes look like toys tossed around. Over 25 airplanes suffered major damage and a lot of the buildings were pretty damaged and the maintenance hangar got completely destroyed.

I know that I have given you a lot of crap in the past DON*T HATE...but my heart goes out to you and your school. Good thing is, is noone was hurt! That's the most important thing! But...your aircraft look like crumbled up aluminum foil.

Good luck to the guys/gals finishing up the Spring semester...

Thanks LAX ... no matter how bad people make the school to be, its just pretty messed up that it happened. I really feel it for those students that are going to get delayed in their training and for the ones that will be enrolling that are going to see the price tag go up.

In a different note, its kinda weird seeing those airplanes just crumbled up like that... makes you realize how powerful mother nature's power is. In some of the spots where a few of the airplanes landed, I rememeber seating down and reading a book or just people watching. Good thing noone got hurt.

That's what insurance is for.

Happy to hear that nobody was hurt. However I feel for you students and instructors that aren't going to be limited in the number of aircraft you have available.
