In re: Tyndall:
Tyndall Air Force Base a ‘Complete Loss’ Amid Questions About Stealth Fighters

Tyndall is home to 55 F-22 stealth fighters, which cost a dizzying $339 million each. Before the storm, the Air Force sent at least 33 of the fighters to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.

Air Force officials have not disclosed the whereabouts of the remaining 22 planes, other than to say that a number of aircraft were left at the base because of maintenance or safety reasons.

Some of the 22 were at Hill undergoing maintenance but others were reportedly in the hangars at Tyndall undergoing maintenance. Ouch.

I don't understand. Were they in such a state of poor maintenance as to be totally unable to fly? I mean, a hurricane is 10 days out of NC and SJAFB, New River, and Cherry Point totally evacuate.

Just saw it, thanks. If you can't move, you can't move.

Just a friendly reminder, update your insurance, take pictures of your property, and get serial numbers stored offsite (preferably the cloud) in the event you lose everything. Now is the time to prepare. Below is a snapshot of the devastation in what was Mexico Beach.
