Hurricane Ivan and Pensacola

Is that a fact! Well it so happens that the Navy put all of the
aircraft in the area in the blimp hangars at NAS Richmond when a
hurricane hit the Miami area just after WW II. The hangars collasped,
caught fire, and 365 aircraft and 25 blimps were lost. I also have a
photo taken at NAAS Bronson Field showing SNJs chained down with the
gear retracked and sitting on tires during a hurricane. So the
military does not always evac all aircraft.

Of course they did!

The military always always evacs all aircraft possible when threatened
by a hurricane.
