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

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.

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!

@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.
