They could have been trucked out! If they had been 100 miles west they would have survived intact. Someone should be fired.

Making a modern military aircraft ready to be loaded on a truck is an intensive manpower effort, removing the wings and tail, finding the prime movers, loading, ect., when you are also trying to get other deadlined hanger queens fit to fly out.

Couple that with the New Air Force personnel restrictions, that dependent families have to be evacuated, trannies have to have their meds, flight crews have maximum flight hours, union civil service civilians have to be coddled...

I'm surprised the AF got as many out as they did. Thanks, Obama...
