Tornado Aftermath at the 166 AW,
Delaware ANG
What you're about to see are photos of the aftermath of a tornado that
was spawned by the remnants of hurricane Jeanne as it passed over the
northeastern states in late September 2004. At first glance, it looks like a simple mishap of
a C-130H that wandered off of a taxiway until you see the buckled wing-fuselage
joints, the differential angle between the horizontal stab and the wing, and
lots of significant damage that makes one wonder if this bird will fly
again. I assume that this aircraft had been parked on the ramp before it
was picked up and tossed across the airfield. You can also see other C-130Hs
that were 're-arranged' on the ramp as well. It is a stark reminder that even
the weight and ruggedness of the Hercules are no match for mother nature.
