IVAN--Pensacola NMNA survived (unconfirmed report)
Being a relatively new building, and I think built with private funds
to the newer building codes, the National Museum of Naval Aviation has initially been reported to have weathered the storm intact which is what was expected (with crossed fingers I presume) from such a structure. Only a one liner, included in an article re the blue angels. "Storm damage forces Navy’s Blue Angels to skip Oceana show By JACK DORSEY, The Virginian-Pilot © September 18, 2004 ......The Naval Aviation Museum, where the Navy houses its most valuable aviation artifacts, held up, officials said...." So, apparently that magnificent collection was spared, and the decision to build a museum there was not an "historical disaster" as they may have built it right. Its my understanding that the museum itself is privately owned and funded, although it works in close association with the Navy. Still would like some confirmation though. AL |
