Sweet shot. I love fjs. I've been through 3.5 ft of snow in my fj, no issues. Had to use 4wd, of course, but it went straight through. Went through 16" with rwd, no problem.
 
Yeah and last I heard the airport was closed (temporarily). This looks like the aerial shots I saw on TV.

Evidentally it's closed again. I know it was open for a short time a couple days ago. According to the NOTAMs, it's closed to fixed wing and everything is out of service.
 
Going into BOS the other day we got vectored right over it. Could not believe me eyes when I saw how much water was on the ramp! The CA I was flying with lives down there and said it is a perfect swamp when it rains. I guess it is just low enough to collect a ton of water.
 
This happened at KDWH a few times when I was growing up. 6-8 inches of water in the T-hangers, etc.

Now...and enterprising soul will offer to regrease the bearings of these airplanes. You need a jack, some basic tools, and some grease. Figure out an appropriate charge for this service.
 
Looks like Arizona right before she calls to be towed out of the wash because her Ford Explorer should be impervious! ;)
 
That would be a bummer. I definitely would of relocated my aircraft for the time being.
