TORNADO HITS USAF MUSEUM RESTORATION HANGAR - 28 FEB 2024 (NMUSAF)

One of the worst nightmares for a museum is storm damage. A tornado hit a restoration hangar and ramp area of the National Museum of the United States Air Force (NMUSAF). Damaged aircraft visible in this raw footage include a Douglas A-26 Invader, a Lockheed F-104 Starfighter, and a Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star. Fortunately no injuries were reported following the early-morning severe weather event on Feb. 28, 2024. Blown-in windows and hangar doors leave questions open about any damage to airframes and artifacts inside the restoration hangar. Video is of the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force’s Restoration Hangar 4, Gate 22B (I-675 Gate) at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio (U.S. Air Force video by Jeff Harris and Austin Smith).
