Uncle Alex, apparently the big hangar next to 09/27 collapsed not much more than that

He's driving there now to assess the damage

Sounds like other than the new large hangar it was mostly windows and a few bent hangar doors. Spoke to Wayne and Alex.

One of my hangars (KR2) has a damaged door, sounds like it is bent. I know of one other hangar (Henri's 701?) also had door damage and some hail reached his plane :shock:

Waiting for more info.....

I really hope that no news regarding damaged aeries (so far) is good news from Rhino, barring the schlep of repairing reportedly bent hangars ? Still sorry to hear about the damage so far :(

It sounds like a lot of us were very lucky - no damage to my trike and hangar

Very sorry to hear about Henry's damage especially and all the guys with bent hangar doors I can just imagine the power of the hailstorm eish

Anybody got pics?

I am trying to go out there asap. By the sounds of it my one hangar (KR2) has the door off or standing open. I will check all hangars and report back when I get there.
