A thunderstorm hit the local airport last Monday. This is a crappy photo, but you might be able to see the busted nosewheel and the bent prop blade.

John, this was the least damaged of several that tipped or flipped. The others were out of camera range. I think at least one was a total loss.

Can't say for sure, but that damage looks like loss of control on landing.<br /><br />Gene Hammond

It does, Gene, but this was one of five or six airplanes that were flipped on the ramp when a thunderstorm passed through. It also took off part of the maintenance hangar roof and dropped it on a T-hangar. I was told that all of the damaged airplanes were tied down, but if they were--well, someone needs a bit of knot practice.

I had a friend at Whitman, CA, that tied his plane down very meticulously and very securely only to find the plane behind blown loose of tiedowns, overturned and atop his for a total loss.
