Damaged aircraft - should I pay?

Old fashioned may be just that: old fashioned. The two problems are
debris breaking the windows and the wind literally pushing in the
entire window frame which is why plywood is anchored to the outside
walls.

I was referring to storm shutters which, last time I saw them, were not made
of glass.

No, but most of the old-fashioned designs are mounted to the window frame or
depend on the frame for support when closed.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

Same thing you do with any plywood...build shelves and work tables in your
hanger.

If you live in a hurricane area you have a problem with humidity and
mold. Most folks might not have inside storage with or without AC so
storing plywood at Home Depot may be the cheapest alternative.


Then what do you do with $400 worth of plywood?

It seems old fashoned storm shutters would be the way to go.

60 miles which way? . . . and remember you need
36 hours lead time because at 24 hrs, the evacuation order goes
"mandantory" . . . and they sure as heck are not going to let you go
back to the evacuated area. 60 miles would have bought some folks
nothing during the storms last year in Florida. Remeber Charlie
hitting southwest Florida and then cleaning Orlando Executive's clock?
That was a distance of about 150 miles.

I will let others respond to the concept of having spouses evacuate
seperately . . . I suspect most families would VERY strongly want to
stay together so that everyone can be kept track off.

Interesting thread . . . wishes for bluer skies for us all . . .

60 miles is half way to Tampa where the airlines suspended operations.

Charley's path went right over Orlando which wasn't expected to be in
the direct path until Charley made a turn east last Friday AM.

If its not insured, it can't stay at 4R7...

Listen, all, I'm not trying to say that it will work all the time for
everyone. But ya' gotta' try, IMHO.

Lots of folks keep at least half tanks all the time, right? That ought to
get you 60 to 100 miles, for any plane, right?

You MUST have hull insurance to park at your airport???? Liability maybe,
but I can't imagine any justification to make you have hull insurance....

Correct!,
Let's see I have 4 or 5 days notice. I have to spend most of one day
standing in line getting enough plywood to cover the house to try to
protect that major investment..that by the way the entire family benefits
from.


If you live in a hurricane area and you are in Home Depot 3 days before
the hurricane hits trying to buy plywood you are a moron.

Yes, but that does not always work for all airplanes. For some, if you fill
all the tanks, you can carry two people and one handkerchief, but you can do
that for a long time! g

Generally works well for the 1xx series Cessnas and a 3Pacer we owned...
