Default Sad day at my home airport DC-3's Last "Flight"

Earlier this week we had an F1 tornado visit the airport. It missed the
buildings (and my hangar!), but went across the south side of the airport
where 4 C-47's have been rotting since their retirement in the late 1980's.
Airport is VIH Rolla National Airport (former Vichy Army Airfield) Missouri.
There is one more on the ramp that went untouched.
Chris
