  1. What a shame. Last flight on 2/17/2020 according to FlightAware, and being from Daytona Beach to Nashville. TN based owner. Tornadoes do not hit in February. What caused this collapse?

    1. Here's your answer...

      Aircraft and structures at John C. Tune Airport in Nashville were crushed by an overnight tornado that brought a path of destruction and loss of life to the area on March 3, 2020

  2. Since no warranty, I bid $2,000.

  3. Come on, a little spackle and some duct tape and it will be good as new...

  4. Probable Cause: Pilot’s failure to maneuver aircraft out of tornado’s path prior to tornado formation and touchdown.

    Contributing Factors: Pilot was nowhere near the airport at time of incident, unpredictability of tornados.
