razorseal Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) Hurricane Michael did a pretty nasty job to Panama. I was looking at the sat images from NOAA, and tyndall took some decent damage. take a look https://storms.ngs.noaa.gov/storms/michael/index.html#16/30.0622/-85.5773 Edited October 12, 2018 by razorseal

Worrazen Posted October 14, 2018 Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) Yeah I wanted to make a thread earlier but forgot, not just posting it the Military & Aviation News, this is quite out of the ordinary ... It's a total loss they say, they evacuated 33 F-22 Raptors, no confirmation but speculation is there could be +20 F-22 Raptor missing ... varied degree of damage. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-10-13/hurricane-cost-may-skyrocket-billions-stealth-fighter-jets-unaccounted-tyndall-afb kbMHqBnnBL4 At 2:20 it starts showing one damaged hangar, you can see some single-engine jet which seems like F-16 maybe, and some smaller prop planes, no sight of F-22.

SkateZilla Posted October 14, 2018 Posted October 14, 2018 All flyable AC were flown out ahead of time, the rest were packed into the hangers. only grounded AC were left behind, Mainly noncombat and QF-16 Drones. Any grounded AC were likely already huge repair costs, so it doesnt change anything other than dropping how many airframes they operate, and dropping their operational budget.

frixon28 Posted October 14, 2018 Posted October 14, 2018 I don't like to speculate, so I'll wait to hear the reports on the F-22s left behind. Curious to see where F-22 training is going to be held for possibly the next couple of years as the base is rebuilt. 40 + F-22 and T-38s aren't exactly easy to place anywhere, nevermind logistics.
