The plane I saw flipped looked like a display plane.
There were a few of those. But many “air worthy” ones in damaged hangers according to the USAF page.
The plane, a F-15, flipped on its back was a non-flying display aircraft, often called “gate guards” because they are either near the airbase gate or the flight line. In the same display area are a: F-4 Phantom, F-86 Sabre, and a F-102.
An example of a literal gate guard is the F-105 Thunderchief that is on a pedestal at the entrance to Bolling Air Force Base in Washington, DC. It is a ‘memorial’ to the last fighter squadron that was based at Bolling, it flew F-105s.
The damaged f22s were a command failure. If a naval officer let that much damage occur to equipment he signed for, it would be the last day of his command.
I’m not saying the wing commander was necessarily incompetent, or that he didn’t do everything in his power to minimize loss. I will say that the wing commander better hope there is a good amount of evidence proving he executed a sound disaster preparedness operation and exhausted every opportunity to protect that equipment.
A fighter aircraft like the f22 isn’t easy to strap onto a pickup and drive off the base, but if there was no plan in place for a fighter wing based in florida to absorb a big hurricane, that’s a big freaking problem.
