Corona Airport December 2010 Flood
Corona Airport (KAJO) in SoCAL is flooded again. Was looking for some photos but this is all I have found so far. I have seen others but they are not on the web.
http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news..._203841-1.html
Other photos that I have seen that are not online show the hangars at the West end of the field have water up to their roofs. Only about 100 feet of runway 25 is NOT under water on the East end of the field.

Video made the 10 pm news in Tucson.
It showed several Cessnas up to their wings in muddy brown water.
Since none are shown in Fred's picture, I guess they must have also moved some flooded planes up to that higher ground.
Sad to see....

Judging by the number of airplanes stacked up on that end ramp, I am hoping that they got most of them out of the hangars before they went underwater? Any RV's based there?

So where is Aircraft Spruce in all of this mess? Aren't they there on the Corona Airport somewhere?

ACS is in a nearby industrial park on the other side of the railroad tracks. Looks like that area is not flooded.
BTW, back 20 years ago our Rockwell 114 Commander was hangared there in the most north western hangar. In the first picture from Fred, this is the one almost completely underwater on the far left. Yikes! That's a lot of water.

Wow, that is tough to look at. I hope they got most of them moved in time.

I hope the water does not go any higher. Here in STL for most of the floods they evacuate everything, just jump in and fly them out, as you never know how high the water will go.

Happened in 1978 and had a Cherokee in a hanger there. Got it out when the water was over the wheel pants. Never forget a 310 floating in one hanger. It was up on jacks with the gear off so he couldn't move it. One guy took off in a 172 and the engine quit and he put it down in the sewage pond. They don't call that a flood plain for nothing. Don
