joey45 Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Thanks MVSGas. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

AlphaOneSix Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) High_Winds_Damage_Several_Apaches It's 1989 all over again! This exact same thing happened at Hood Army Airfield (Ft. Hood, Texas) in early 1989, destroying Kiowas, Apaches, and at least one Chinook. I was assigned to Ft. Hood just after the storm came through. EDIT: Just found a U.S. Army history document with a section on the incident... On 13 May 1989, violent winds in excess of 100 miles per hour damaged or destroyed 142 of the 495 aircraft at Fort Hood Army Airfield and nearby Robert Gray Army Airfield. The III Corps' fleet of 150 AH-64s, one-third of the Army's Apache inventory, was hit the hardest. Apaches from the 1st Cavalry Division, the 2d Armored Division, the 6th Cavalry Brigade (the Army's only separate air combat brigade), and the Apache Training Brigade were damaged. Of the 101 Apaches damaged, 31 needed depot repairs. Thirty to forty other helicopters (UH-60s, OH-58s, UH-1s, CH-47s, and AH-1s) were severely damaged. Most of the helicopters suffered damage to the main rotor blades, structural faults, and damage to transmissions. Losses were initially estimated in excess of $600 million, which included facilities repair. A second severe storm in early June damaged about fifty helicopters at Fort Polk, Louisiana, with losses there estimated at $9 million. Edited July 21, 2012 by AlphaOneSix

Agg Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 US Airshows... No. I doubt that was a US AirahowNot a US airshow, it was in China, but it is real. Here's a picture from the other side. Not from the same show, but also very low in a Flanker... I love airshows, but I dont think I would feel comfortable seeing something like this.
