“This is a relatively minor weather event at an airport which destroyed some airplanes...”

Ever purchased an airplane?

They are EXTREMELY expensive to purchase and even more expensive to repair.

A single 30+ year old King Air twin in good shape has the same value as 175 new automobiles (Edmunds 2009 value of $28,400). And that's a 30 year old aircraft.

Think of this ‘minor’ disaster as a highway pileup of 2,000 cars. Or more

Lucky only seven folks were injured.

And most of them are insured!

This is a MAJOR DISASTER for State Farm or Farmers.

They will probably raise rates across the board after this MAJOR AIRSHOW DISASTER.
