April 23, 201115 yr That's about all the article says in terms of aircraft.There have been images on TV here in St. Louis that show at least a 757 has suffered tail damage.http://www.kmov.com/home/SkyZoom-4-images-of-the-Lambert-Airport-damage-120536224.html?gallery=y&c=y&img=7#gallery-image
April 23, 201115 yr Here is a link to an interview with someone that was sitting on a plane at the gate when the tornado struck. He said the plane actually moved a few feet.http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42725966/ns/weather/ MSFS Premium Deluxe Edition; Windows 11 Pro, I9-9900k; Asus Maximus XI Hero; Asus TUF RTX3080TI; 32GB G.Skill Ripjaw DDR4 3600; 2X Samsung 1TB 970EVO; NZXT Kraken X63; Seasonic Prime PX-1000, LG 48" C1 Series OLED, Honeycomb Yoke & TQ, CH Rudder Pedals, Logitech G13 Gamepad
April 23, 201115 yr Did any planes get damaged?I also read that a couple of the AA airplanes had glass piled up in the engine cowlings and one other had significant damage due to "glass penetration of composite parts and tires." That's in addition to the one whose nose fell on or ran into a power cart, the 757, I believe. AMD 7800X3D, RTX 4090, 42" LG C3 OLED 4K TV/Monitor

Did a window break or what? It looked like the walkway was a wind tunnel blowing all sorts of crap toward the people sitting in the gate area. How scary that would have been! Thanks for the link.

It looked like the walkway was a wind tunnel blowing all sorts of crap toward the people sitting in the gate area. How scary that would have been! Thanks for the link.It definitely looks like there was a wind tunnel effect! Maybe some doors blown open or even broken windows. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules
