faulknerwn 38 #4 March 18, 2013 He posted photos on Facebook. That day the steady winds in the area were 50 and gusts were 70-80. One of the gusts broke all 3 of the tie-downs on the plane, spun the plane 90 degrees, pulled the metal loading area benches and all out of the ground, smashed the tool shed and then took out the PAC :(. Left some dents on the wing, a hole in the side of the plane, and twisted and really bent up the tail of the airplane. :(. I was on my way back from Florida and a crw boogie that day and spent my time in the Orlando airport googling what the crosswind component was for my JetBlue flight. Luckily our 45 mph crosswind was 5 miles under the limit for that plane. The landing was interesting.... Saw a ton of fires around Austin that day driving home - all from downed powerlines. Did stop and buy mark mark a large bottle of vodka on my way home so he could drown his sorrows.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
