Orlando Executive airport after Charley hit

Unless they owed money on them, they probably were not insured except for
liability.

Not a one of the airplanes on the AO ramp were without hull insurance.

As a West Coast pilot, can anyone explain to me why people don't move their
aircraft out of the way of these storms? I'd call in sick and miss a day of
work before I risked by 30K+ investment.

1. That's what I have insurance for.

2. I have other more expensive assets (house) that I don't want to leave (unless
there's an evacuation order, of course).

3. Funny (maybe) story about hurricane Fran, 1996. I'm based at Raleigh-Durham,
about 150 or so miles inland. Fran was forecast to come ashore at Wilmington, on
the coast. Fran didn't read the forecasts, mostly missed Wilmington, hit
Raleigh-Durham pretty hard. As far as I know the only aircraft damaged at
Raleigh-Durham was one based at Wilmington that the owner had flown to RDU to
get it out of the way of the hurricane.

Himmacanes (aka Charley, Andrew) just go straight ahead, don't stop w/o
turning. So see where they're pointing and get out of the way.

Buuut those Hurricanes wander about, turn w/o signaling and just plain go
where they want and you w/ have no idea where that w/b.

Thx, {|;-)

I am not an insurance broker, but I do know a lot of pilots/owners. The 90%
is just a guess on my part, but I feel that it is close. The rising hull
insurance costs are precisely the reason that a lot of owners do not have
this insurance. You hit it right on the spot.

Where are you? I could see at some small field way out in the sticks
with mostly older planes long since paid for that a significant
(though I'll never believe 90%) number of guys cut corners on
insurance just as they do on gas, maintenance, tie-down ropes and
everything else. Maybe in the Southwest or Rocky Mountain states where
you haven't got hurricanes or tornadoes to worry so much about this
wouldn't be completely idiotic, just risky.

-cwk.

Its curious that about all the damaged planes in the photos were
high wing Cesna's - relatively large wing spans. No Archer's etc?

Since a lot of those planes will go to the insurance companies,
anybody know how/where they may sell them off?

I sent this guy some great photos, but he never acknowledged receiving them
or thank me for them.

Meanwhile, I have received some photos taken by someone else. These are
dynamite photos taken by someone inside the airport a couple of days
afterward. These are the best photos I've seen to date of what happened at
KORL. I won't send them, though, because I believe that people should
acknowledge receipt of goods, especially if they asked for them.

Clyde Torres

you didn't send any photos to me !!!
if you would like to try sending them again I will make sure to look for
them.
If I received them I would have let you know that.
Just because you send something doesn't mean they get received on the other
end.
I will be more than happy to put up the pictures.
