FlyingMonkey Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 This is very common and a non issue. It's still sad to see airplane left outside to wind, water, freeze/thaw cycles, and general environmental wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrnflyr Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 We drove to DFW in that nightmare storm. A normal lazy five hr drive became an absolute nightmare 21 hr terror. I was actually worried for our lives. We were trapped among hundreds of semis on I20 and were stopped on "cobblestone" ice. We finally just stopped and went to sleep right on the interstate. I would start the car every hr or so to warm us up. Finally, they opened up enough to go the ten miles to an exit and I went small farm to market roads on into DFW. I'm sure the truckers would've let us climb up into their cab if we had to but it worked out. My wife had the worst case of "get there itis" I've seen for my granddaughters birthday. Wouldn't do any good if we both were found as frozen statues in a field somewhere after we slid off an embankment. We lost two aircraft also in that storm. Pretty bad for Texas.
