"And this is why we've instituted a new policy to tie down ALL of our airplanes."

They were...

 

[based]

All planes were chained down, the winds were in excess of 50mph and ripped the planes off the tiedowns and sent them flying.

They were...

DAYUM! I wonder how they were tied.

DAYUM! I wonder how they were tied.

Probably by people using their hands.

I have a window seat.
I wonder is it because I did, in fact, fly the 757 sim at NATCO?

(old, old joke)

Did the passengers glare at you?

Did the passengers glare at you?

And more importantly was he wearing his pin?

Smart ass. There is a right way and a looks right way to tie an airplane down.

I use 4000lb ratchet straps on each wing plus wing covers with spoilers.
It's survived a couple 50kt wind events so far.

Best Bush plane ever made Sikorsky/Mielec M28

In the hangar you can see the original Antonov AN28, this plane is based on.




The US Air Force has 3 Squadrons that fly the M28, one of them use to fly the Soviet made AN28 before they upgraded to the M28.

They know youre a pilot.....

I get the over wing exit seats a lot, I'm sure that's the same reason

Chandler Airport Decimated by Arizona Monsoon last night.

I've logged a handful of hours in that Arrow.

That looks like DVT?

Another plane that was tied down flipped from a nasty storm. Supposedly there was a gust over 70 kts recorded at HOU last night. Glad I missed that storm!

A Pacer with its stubby wings is not a fair comparison

Thanks. Shortly after I posted that I saw the thread in the general section.

@based crazy! I've flown a couple of those (back when they were Pan Am birds) sorry to see them go out like that. We had troubles with tie downs & winds at KBJC over the years and despite best efforts sometimes you just can't win. We once resorted to parking the airport fire trucks in front of the flight line for a bit even.

EPA isn't going to like all that leaking 100LL! "Nothing to see here!"(whistling nonchalantly as they walk by)
