The second Cessna you see from the begging was my girl for 33 years.. She was a very special R-STOL equipped Skyhawk and can never be replaced! I was there preparing her for an annual scheduled for the next day. My cell phone sounded an alert ” A tornado warning has been issued for your location”. That was the only warning I had.. Only made it to the parking lot in front of the FBO before it hit.. I’m very sad about loosing her, very blessed to have owned her, and very very blessed to be alive to search for another!
Sad to See…. if anyone has any recent ADS-B recently maybe they could recoup some of the loss? or any other avionics.

This takes one’s breath away as tears flow, adding to the already astounding grief and loss for those having to work their way through the devastation in Lee County, AL. This is one New Yorker pilot of 44 years in the skies praying for all those in need.
Makes me sick to see that devastation. Looks like the tornado took dead aim at the airport. The building across the highway is untouched!
