A storm with straight line winds blew through Lakeland, Fla., this morning, the site of this week’s annual Sun ‘n Fun show, toppling airplanes and damaging exhibits.
Sun ‘n Fun officials report on Twitter than no major injuries have been reported. They are still sorting things out, however.
Hawker Beechcraft and Cessna report that their personnel at the show are OK. Hawker Beechcraft received damage to its exhibit, however.
Wichita Aero Club director Dave Franson snapped some photos of the aftermath.
In the first photo, the plane was blown across the width of the taxiway and overturned.
James Wiebe, who also is at the show with his Belite ultralight aircraft, also posted photos on his blog.
The show opened Tuesday. It’s not yet known whether the show will go on the rest of the week.
