I read that a CJ was damaged by the tornado at SNF. Who's was it? The warbird line guys did a great job and looked out for all the 'birds, tying those down that were left loose. Mine received only superficial damage from the hanger door pushing in off it's track.

Craig:
The "undamaged" CJ was part of the Northeast Raider gang down for a break for the lousy weather in the north. Hah!
Mort Stoverud from NJ was parked near the IAC area along with two yak 52's. Mort's plane lifted out of the tie downs and was pushed backward by significant winds into the drainage ditch. The warbird support crew was fantastic with their assistance getting it out of the ditch. We used plywood and a high reach forklift and walked it right out. It took a couple of hours Friday morning but those CJ 6 planes are tough birds. Larry Kelly and his b25 gang was helpful too with tow bars etc. The outpouring of help was unmatched!
Mort flew it home without incident. In checking the tail section for fod after the event we found one dirty sock in the tail section. So much for the previous fod check? Besides who fly with just one shoe on?
