My tent stayed dry; my buddy Jerry's didn't. He spent half the night in the
airplane (the next night, too).


I recall riding out a wild thunderstorm in a tent years ago. I managed
to stay mostly dry.
In the morning I walked to the showers, and right next to them sat an
airplane (Mooney, IIRC) in the middle of a small lake. Those
unfortunate folks had picked a low spot to park and camp in. The
remains of their tent rose slightly above the surface. The people were
sitting in the airplane. They didn't look happy.
