WOW – what started as a cooler beautiful day after a night of rain really went to pieces pretty quickly after lunch. Videos below show the story. We learned a few things from this experience:
- Put everything in the plane, the likelihood of it blowing away is less than the tent filling up with water
- Ipads don’t work very well after being submerged in several inches of water
- Everything except electrical equipment dries out fairly quickly in a stiff breeze and strong sunshine
- Planes that decide to go flying without pilots make very poor landings
Part 1 – Safe in the shelter
Part 2 – The Aftermath
These homebuilts were damaged when the storm blew the yellow plane on top of the Mustang replica

Who would have thought the most dangerous part of the airshow would be the camping! Glad to see you are okay and in good spirits.
