"As many as ten F-22s may have been damaged by the storm"

 

I get that some may of had their engine's out, or in the middle of an inspect, but that is quite ridiculous there wasn't any type of contingency plan. Like they really thought an aluminum hanger would protect those planes? C'mon

 

Were talking ten f-22s which collectively cost taxpayers well over $1 Billion. I assume someone is about to be busted down or asked to retire over this one.

As an F-16 crew chief I completely understand having ten broke jets that couldnt make it out. What bothers me more is why the hangars didnt have anchors in the structure to reinforce the roof. The code in Florida requires it. You would think the AF would make improvements to the hangar when they decided to station them there.
