YBBN will be fun this evening!
Been the most sever storm I have seen at my office in Stafford in the 15 years I have been here.
This screen shot was not the worst of it either. A LOT of large hail in the CBD and east of me. http://i849.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps2d2b3283.png Bit of circle work going on :uhoh: Hope the fuel uplifts carried a bit for mum and the kids. http://i849.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps7a706665.png |
have a look whats happened at Archerfield!

YBAF area, Decathlon, C172, helicopters and a B Double blown over.
|
Shame it's 'Schoolies', Cooly looks OK for a diversion! ;)
|
The owners of the 162 Skycatcher will be happy if it's written off !
|
76 knot gust at YBAF just after 4pm.
|
Notam shows AF closed till 9am for WIP. I assume the cleanup.
Groggy |
The two RA aircraft are almost new C162's Skycatcher's .
|
They can't be very new as they stopped making them a while back :confused: New to the RAA register perhaps :ok:
Car RAMROD - it just occurred to me where your username came from :D |
Two maintenance facilities had their doors removed completely.
Old Sunland hanger front and rear sections blown in. Two Skycatchers and two Jabbapoos flipped out front of terminal. (At least they aren't blocking up the 60 minute temporary parking area any more as per usual.:rolleyes:) Pretty sure Pathfinder employees can take the week off... C172 (MZW) and C152 (IVW) next to them also rolled up. RQ Citabria balled up. Multiple aircraft "moved" TBM700 almost turned into a metro. |
Virgin sent this out 25 hours before storm hit
Virgin text Forecast storms may impact flights tomorrow and your Virgin Australia flight may be disrupted. We apologise for any inconvenience. How right they were, flight cancelled YBAF looks a bit battered but have seen a lot worse out there a long while back but certainly a big pain for the flipped over schools No one has mentioned hail, was there any |
Massive hail through Brisbane...
|
Bit of circle work going on. Hope the fuel uplifts carried a bit for mum and the kids. When we went over on the approach to BNE a little later, Archerfield looked like a swamp & the NDB was out as well. |
I see that the Fox Jet mock-up, on the pole, at ABC Spare Parts, Rocklea has lost the port wing and the stbd is severed. and a blue Robbie on its side at YBAF

YBAF
Yeah, the Warbirds hangar was severely damaged. One of the doors ended up 150m over the fence in another paddock - the '44 (apparently Grant Kenny's) on its side. A few light planes pushed back toward the Warbirds hangar had one off the doors land on their wings, and the other door went back inside and narrowly (and I mean a hands width) missed the wing of a CJ1. The wind blew through took out the front doors of the office. A couple of guys missed getting hit by one of the doors by diving under an aircraft.
One guy in a CJ2 ex YSSY was given clearance, which was then cancelled with 60kt winds and the NDB gone. Looked pretty nasty down there. |
It doesn't take much wind to blow off a big hangar door. Ours went AWOL recently with nowhere near that much wind. It would have been scary; probably best to stand well clear, no point getting squashed for the sake of delaying the inevitable damage.
|
Which is warbirds hangar? Is it the old Steve Hart one?? How did the big yellow Invader Go??
Sounds rough ....I guess hail hit anything outside too... |
|
3rd pic down...
