I took pictures of most of the damaged aircraft right after the storm. Ed and Tracy are fine. Still tied down tight. No damage. They were in the first row. In the very next row three Pietenpole? replicas were wrapped around each other like a giant snowball.
 
I would publish the photos but most have been seen already, and that feature on my Windoze computer is on strike right now. The pictures are difficult to look at as we know how many hours and effort were involved.
In one case there was an engine alone in a big open space. No plane nearby. Damage in the millions. Maybe 30 planes gone. A Cessna Caravan inverted (totaled). Personal gear from ripped open planes everywhere...........
