Frances refugees
At least a dozen aircraft from Florida were parked on the north ramp at
BFM this afternoon. I didn't meet any of the pilots, so I couldn't ask
why they would flee a hurricane yet park at a coastal airport on the
edge of the projected path of the storm.
I realize that the storm probably will be much weakened in the unlikely
event it strikes Mobile, but if you're going to all that trouble anyway,
why take any risk? Why not go further inland to Montgomery, for
example?
