I've been at Oshkosh when it's happened. Any light aircraft not tied down, get flopped over.

Most of the military and commercial craft are heavy enough to stay put, but a slow moving storm like that may put down hail that requires close inspection.

(Not to mention the people that were injured)

Either way, it's really unfortunate.

McConnell (like every AFB) always flies the planes out ahead of severe weather… not sure what happened this time

Fair point. I hadn't thought about that.
