The FAA closed the runway 10 minutes before both Richards and I arrived at Corona and wouldn't allow us to depart even though we had enough runway left. By noon there was about 14' of water in my hangar. My Long EZ and a number of tools, parts, etc. are well under water now, including most of my Corvair stuff. The water wasn't supposed to get this deep. Rich and Rich may have lost the Tailwind in their hangar as well. We moved my roll-a-way, compressor, and welder to their hangar after being advised the water wouldn't get that far. Those, I'm sure are a total loss now as well.
We were now told the water level was still rising and would completely flood the airport and all aircraft had to be moved. Most were being towed of pushed to some of the city roads and parked for the duration. It is quite a sight seeing 100 aiplanes blocking a number of city streets. To top off the day, while my plane was being moved, half of the elevator was ripped off. It looks like I won't be flying any time in the near future. As far as making the next Gathering or Corvair conversion, who knows??? Steve Glover KR-2 N902G AJO, Ca Steve, I am so sorry to here about your misfortune. I'm working every day til Tuesday the 18th. I have that day off. If the waters have subsided and you need some help moving things or cleaning up, I will be available all day that day to help. I didn't call you on last Friday because of the rain. I never imagined that the airport could flood like that! If you need help before that I could be available for a few hours before or after work before tuesday. Let me know.
