Lost your tent??? Wow! As in "...where did our tent go?"???

No, as in "Holy crap, how did my tent get lifted up onto my wing!?"

I came back from spending the day shopping to find it laying over the
starboard wing. One of the one-inch aluminum poles was actually bent over
the trailing edge of the wing. (Those wings are a lot tougher than they
look.)

The wind actually snapped off three plastic stakes, and threw the tent --
gear inside and all! -- about ten feet. We found our ground cloth three
rows down, wrapped around the nosegear of a Skyhawk...

I kinda miss the guy that used to yodel on the PA system in the early

morning,
though (what happened to that?)


???

We heard him everyday! And we were waaaay out by the new Hilton.

Maybe that mid-range "pilot's deafness" is creeping up on you, eh?

(I wouldn't have minded not hearing those first departures at 6:22 AM...
