Travel

I was at the airshow in Oshkosh, WI camped under the wing of my plane when a big storm hit in the middle of the night. My plane was tied down pretty well, but I've seen what storms can do to planes and it ain't pretty. Also there are literally tens of thousands of other planes of all shapes and sizes on the airport, also tied down. At first you worry about your tent blowing away, but then you realize that's the least of your concerns compared to being squashed like a bug by any one of several nearby 2,000-3,000 lb aircraft all full of aviation fuel (my plane alone holds 80 gals). Fortunately my tent was also staked down well, but many weren't so lucky. Here's one of my neighbors who had his tent collapse. Fortunately the worst damage was to the blue rooms.
