Strong winds Thursday morning destroyed a hangar at Davidson’s Airport.
While the wind was still raging, between 9 and 9:30 a.m. Thursday, Charles Deaver said he received a phone call informing him that a piece of metal siding had blown off the hangar that houses two of his planes.
Deaver set out for the local airport, but in the minutes it took him to get there, the building was down.
Both planes were damaged. Deaver said the wind pushed one plane into a skid steer he stored in the hangar, bending the plane’s stabilizer in the process. Another plane received some damage when the wind lifted it up and onto the other plane.
Deaver said he is able to repair the planes, however, the hangar didn’t fair so well.
“I put the building up last November, so it didn’t last long,” he said. “It’s just one of those things that happens.”
