Tornado hits NMUSAF

[TimothyC]

I was woken up this morning by tornado sirens, and it turned out that one of the storms managed to hit one of the storage hangars for NMUSAF.

It looks like most of the damage is to the structure itself, and the aircraft that were parked outside - a T-33, an F-104, and another aircraft that I can't identify:

I believe the third aircraft is an A-26. I've heard that the aircraft sitting outside were all old gate guards, ate up with corrosion. The aircraft in the hanger are apparently fine for the most part. The restoration hanger with Swoose was unaffected. But thats only what i've seen reported so far.

I hope that's true but I also hope they restore those planes...
