Storms flip airplanes at Kissimmee airport
Strong storms brought winds strong down to flip at least three planes at Kissimmee airport, officials said. Two of the planes were not tied down when the storm came through, and a third was tied down, but the ropes broke.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Three planes flipped over at the Kissimmee Gateway Airport on Wednesday afternoon as severe storms moved through Central Florida.
High winds estimated at a peak of 60 mph and rain in the area caused the planes the flip over, the city of Kissimmee said.
Two of the planes were not tied down. One of them was non-airworthy, used by an aircraft maintenance school. The second plane was being used for flight instruction earlier in the day.
The third plane is privately owned and the tie-down ropes broke free.
All three planes had some damage and no one was injured during the incident.
