Hurricane Ivan and Pensacola

I know the hurrevac base for Trawing Six T-34's in the late '90s was Columbus
AFB, MS. We didn't always evac all the aircraft when a hurricane was coming.
One time, I think it was for Danny, we put all the T-34s that weren't on
crosscountry into the hangars. Most of the T-1s and T-39s did leave though.

I didn't realize you were such and expert on Naval aviaiton. When did
you get your wings?

Oh, please. You're talking about something that happened nearly 60
years ago. The rest of us are talking about *today*, or at least the
recent past.

In the 1940's we didn't even have decent hurricane prediction, so we
had fleets sailing into storms, destroyer sunk in hurricanes, aircraft
carriers decks crushed. Aircraft were slower, of shorter range,
aerial refuelling didn't exist, so evacuations would be slower or
impossible considering lack of advance notice.

Why don't you join the rest of us in the 21st (or even late 20th)
century?

Andrew's been hanging out here since there was a "here" to hang out at.

One does not need to have wings to know some basic facts about weather
prediction and aircraft capabilities of 60 years ago.
