"SelwayKid"
Can't help but wonder how its gonna affect the aircraft that don't move out.... I found out a few years ago when NC was flooded by Fran or ?. I took a flight a few days later east of RDU. The flooding was concentrated east of I-95. I set the GPS for KETC - Tarboro. Determined to part of the problem rather than the solution, I flew around watching rescue helicopters and National Guard relief aircraft doing their duty. When I got to KETC, I couldn't find it. I circled at the GPS coordinates and suddenly realized the entire airport was underwater (53 MSL). Half a dozen a/c were still tied down and fully underwater. The runway was highlighted by a runway shaped oil slick floating nearby like a shadow. A few days later I learned that flights were prohibited over the area. Wish I had a camera that day. |
