Terrible. I'm glad no one was hurt. If there's a bright side, maybe there will be quite a few engines coming on the used market.

Terribly lucky is the word. If wasn't Christmas there would have been many deaths. I think there will be a flood of engines and plane parts! I wonder what kind of plane they are going to buy. I was going to convert my RV into an ark. I didn't think it was going to stop raining!

Default KDBA is a WX Magnet!
Many of ER's planes were severely damaged by hail in 2005. Must be a vortex of wind coming from the Daytona International Speedway!

Any idea how / when they'll be salvaged? Ideas for contacts?
I'm looking for a couple salvage parts for my 172R ...

T, No one is on campus now who isn't working on clean-up. I would suggest calling Mr. Titus When they are back up and running.
