I was unfortunate enough to witness the aftermath of Hurricane Camille in 1969 when Keesler AFB in Mississippi was severely damaged like this. My heart goes out to the USAF people who have endured this.
Joey Jamison thank you. Me and my whole family didn't leave for the hurricane in Panama City and we really wish we left now.
Best wishes with getting everything back to normal. It WILL happen!!!
Before I retired from the AF in 2015, I was a AF facilities engineering subject matter expert on the Air Staff (HQ AF) for a good part of my career, and I got to help evaluate the damage, and then later help put back into operation a few of the critical structures/buildings on Keesler, AFB in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. I hand not known that Keesler AFB had gone through another hurricane previously to Katrina, (e.g. Camille) in 1969. Thanks for the background nugget on that one.
I was an A1C stationed at Robins AFB in Georgia and was sent to Keesler in the Summer of 1969 for MRC-108 school and returned to Georgia just days before 'Camille' struck. The Group I was stationed with had a large motor pool truck fleet and they were asked to help transport relief supplies to the area and I volunteered to assist. It took 3 days for us to get down there as many roads were ruined. When we arrived, I got a recent before/after view of the place. it was the worst sight that I've ever witnessed in my life (with the possible exception of the aftermath of the Xenia, Ohio tornado of 1974). The devastation was indescribable, several hundred people were killed and I hope I NEVER see anything like that again! I think Tyndall looks like that right now.
@@joeyjamison5772 been a few months and it's still a wreck lol
I don't know for sure if Hurricane Michael has officially been upgraded to a Category 5 hurricane status. It clearly was a category 5 storm. They had sustained winds in Marianna, Florida of 162 miles per hour, and 165 in Grand Ridge. Tyndall had sustained winds of 187 mph, and Mexico Beach, winds of 201 mph and 203 mph. Hurricane Michael had a pressure of 917 millibars. I live in Graceville, Florida, 60 miles north of Panama City. We had sustained winds of 143 mph. Graceville is about twenty-five miles west, northwest of Marianna. Most every house on the east side of town here, if they had shingles on their roofs, now have a blue tarp. I have never seen so much destruction in my life.
My ex-wife's brother lives in Marianna. His power was off twenty-eight days. Mine was off just two days and a few hours. Hurricane Michael was a category 5 storm.
I grew up on this air force base
Somehow I doubt it will be rebuilt! I was stationed there in 1970. It was a real nice base.
I was stationed at McConnell AFB, Ks in 1991 when a F5 tornado ripped through the base. Path of destruction was much narrower but totality is the same. Where did the AWAC deploy?
Hurricane, stop that windy crap...Now.
Lol. Thats right. The rains good but that Winds gotta stop throwing stuff!
my dad lives there along with family I will be praying for them for the rest of my life
I hope my uncle Mike is ok
The new gym and my old dorm building was not affected. Sad to see the rest of the base though. Hoping for a speedy recovery at the base.
Awful
These are the latest facts: The Air Force managed to fly 33 of the F-22s to safety, but maintenance and repair issues kept 22 of the notoriously finicky aircraft on the ground when the powerful storm hit the base.
The description is inaccurate. It didn't land 15 miles away. It made landfall right on the base. Tyndall AFB was ground zero for hurricane Michael.
Well Mexico Beach was ground zero since it was just to the right of the eye. The wind there was gulf to land so a large storm surge came to MB abd caused mass destruction. This was just wind damage yet severe wind damage. Good observation though.
I feel sorry for CES. I been thru 2 Typhoons 6 hurricanes and 2 tornados. CES for life
I was working down in Miramar beach at this time. Every hour a helicopter was going by the opposite direction.
The above statement is incorrect. Michael made landfall between Tyndall AFB and Mexico Beach about 20 miles east of Panama City.
Is it real or graphic??
Why were aircraft left on the ground to be devastated by the storm? Unlike buildings the aircraft are movable property and could have been flown to safety ahead of the storm. Someone please rewrite the preparedness manual of what to do in the case of known or potential disaster coming!!!!!!
Erwin Posner -Some Got No Motors No More..Just For Show..That The Ones We Can See Now mess up..
Not to mention how much they cost.
Those are drone aircraft for weapon testing. They moved all viable aircraft off the base before the storm hit.
Those were historical museum pieces. And probably not that important considering they were on display outside
Those were what they call "Static Display" aircraft. Decommissioned, useful parts taken out and put on display, usually near the front of the base.
terrible. i was stationed here several times over my AF career as an F-15 maintainer. sad to see this.
1) chuckled at the destruction in the RV lot. I lost/got rid of my Ford LTD that way in the McConnell AFB RV lot in the 1991 Witchita/Andover tornado 2) Lots of extra clean up duty for the low rank enlisted for a while to come...
How is the med clinic? The fitness center was built to be hurricane proof.
Insurance companies will bust huge rate increase inbound !
Yep I bet the Geico Lizard commits suicide or something like it and you?
Fl flood insurance is expensive
Exactly. And now see what money really is worth
those who have it will be taken care of,,,, but those that don't will be scavenging
gasdorfic muncher wouldn't be surprised if some insurance companies declare bankruptcy
Wow! This is just terrible...Never seen so much damage and destruction. I hope it gets fixed as quickly as possible. This is the base my daughter belongs to but...She can't go. Sad :((( ( God bless the men and women that serve :))
Oh its not that bad. At least they didnt have storm surge like Mexico Beach did.
Insurance companies aren't going to like this.
Yeah if you have hurricane damage they call it flood damage, and if you have flood damage they call it hurricane damage lol can't win.
What insurance company? This is damage to a military base and you can bet that the American taxpayer is going to foot the bill for this. What I don't understand is why they didn't fly those planes to a base that wasn't in the path of the hurricane. In past hurricanes, I can remember planes being moved to safer bases and I can't understand why they didn't do that for such a major hurricane.
@@Freespirit5371 Sir, Tyndall AFB generated and evacuated every aircraft that was flyable / mechanically safe to fly, including it's target drone aircraft that were flyable. Most went to WPAFB in Dayton, OH. The only aircraft that were left behind were planes that were deemed unairworthy due to maintenance/mechanical or some other flight safety issue(s). Believe me, the USAF does not want any of it's planes hurt and the service goes to great lengths to get them out of harms way prior to a major storm. Those aircraft deemed unsafe to fly or mechanically not ready to fly (planes down for maintenance) were stored as best they could be given the time crunch of this fast moving storm, and the bases need to evacuate all its personnel before this storm hit. The 2 jets in that hangar with 80% of its roof gone are QF-16 target drones, used for flying target practice, and they probably were not flyable at the time of the evacuation. Those other 3 duel engine prop aircraft in the hangar, I am not sure what they are, but they do not appear to be anything in the current USAF inventory. They could be contractor chase aircraft used with target drone operations. Also, FYI, you may be surprised to learn, that many times our air force bases also house aircraft from other federal agencies, and/or state & federal law enforcement agencies as well. So, quite possibly those other 3 planes belong to some other agency, and its therefore anyone's guess really why they were not flown out. All the other aircraft I saw in the video that got banged up were static display aircraft.
@@Freespirit5371 um I think you got it wrong my guy
Every base evacuates the planes that are ready to fly. The only ones that aren't are the ones that are depo'd.
Thankfully Donnie just sign a bill that gave a boat load of money to the DOD.
Они "сдерживают" Россию . А их "сдерживает " Создатель .
Nearly every major building was still standing. Roof damage on a lot, but that's fixable. Trailers scattered all over the parking lot was a storage area for these types of vehicles. Every base has one for their personnel. They aren't tied down nor anchored, so even a minor wind will upset the lineup. Base housing, from what I could tell, was not totally destroyed.
Someone is posting that Tyndale was a target hit. Could you please tell me, "Why Tyndale?" There has to be a reason behind that kind of madness. There are other bases with much higher strategic status than Tyndale just to the west of Panama City Beach. If you can steer a hurricane, why not aim it at a better target?
The damage level was much higher than same year supertyphoon mangkhut in hong kong.
Unfortunately, looks like Tyndall AFB just got closed down for good. Hope we can build some nice hotels there if they don't make it a reserve base which they probably will. Great beaches.
Well there’s the air base that my brother Worked at
Is it Holly wood film?
Poor country cheap buildings 😢🤧
military installations above ground=loss, mind blown.
That is bad when we went to a friends condo Panama
Yeah, this was a very bad one.
No this very good.
Do you guys think Michael is a sign of things to come? Or this probably will not happen again for 50 years?
I use to live there
I'm surprised those DISPLAY jet planes didn't fly away into next state over!
Well the F-15 was not on a stick and it tried.
2:32 "Can I get sheet metal to eval a dent on the left hand....."
The Air Force base was ground zero for the hurricane. They literally got it worse than anyone else.
That doesnt look as bad as I thought it would be. Andrew and Camille were worse. Looks worse than Panama City though.
Every airplane on the ground when the storm hit was not fit for combat,otherwise they would have been flown out ahead of this storm.
WOW!!!
I was TDY at at Tyndall AFB way back during the 80’ s, from George AFB, Panama City was a party 🎉 town, had a great drunken time there, wish everyone well, geez, I remember hurricane Andrew, 1992, wiped out Homestead AFB, donated 🍹$ to the victims at Canteen Vending way back than.
Andrew, oh yeah..... Dad did 20 in the A.F. with TAC. Then moved back to Homestead (Leisure City) along with his new wife in '75. Youngest brother ended up moving there, where he met his wife and having their first son. We (Dad, Mom & us 5 kids) lived in Leisure City for a couple of years, including the Cuban missile crisis. Andrew....it hit Homestead AFB with so much damage that it became a Reserve base only instead of a full time base. And now Tyndall.......gotta wonder what's going to happen to it? Especially since William Tell is done there every year and has been doing this since the 1950's.Dad was a jet engine mechanic and went to one of the meets back then when he was with the 525 TFS (Bulldogs) out of Bitburg, Germany when they had F-102"s. Dad also worked on T-33's & F-86's at George before we went to Germany.
ionospheric heater...i was there..
do not mess up with nature
Weird
Welcome to Florida 2018
Mishkin and Chepiga, is that you again??
Неслабо. Что у них за СНиПы? Харрикейны с торнадами у них там бывают ежегодно по нескольку раз, наверное и строить нужно покрепче, как бы. Комментарии?
Не подсказывай.
А толку!!!! Подсказывай, не подсказывай. Весь ужас в том,что наши придурки стал так строить!!!
Самолету за 1/3 миллиарда долларов не могут капонир бетонный организовать. По привычке из говна и палок строят. Хотя, там по бумажкам может что-то сверхтехнологичное было. С плазменными защитными полями и гравитационнми отражателями.

I bet there's a lot of FOUO documents not where they're supposed to be. lol
yeah, im kinda wondering about this as well. its an Airforce base. i wonder how much top secret information is being carried on the wind to who knows where right now. heck im actually kinda surprised that a news chopper was even allowed to fly over and film.
It's a training base and I was stationed there. I don't think there was a lot of top secret stuff there because the mission was to train F-15 pilots. They knew there were in a compromising position for a direct hit so checklists were made many years ago for just such and event as this.
Robert Persons, shhhh
any documents higher than FOUO would be in a safe that is undoubtedly still secure.
Yeah, that's why I said FOUO and not S, TS. It was just a joke. I used to do audits on Eglin's test ranges looking for stuff like FOUO left out unattended and what not.
Wow

That upside down aircraft was on static display ya dummies!, aircraft was moved away ya dopes
They had plenty of notice this was coming and the strength at which it was going to hit, why didn’t they move all the planes to a different base? Someone needs to be accountable for this mistake!
They DID move all viable aircraft.
The aircraft you see are a historic static display and drone aircraft for the weapon test mission. Note the red tail and nose on some
I did read an article that said they lost three F22 stealth fighters that were 143 million each, in addition it looked like there were a lot of aircraft in the damaged hangers. Hopefully more information will come out later of the actual loss incurred.
It was bumped up to cat 4 at like 5am before it was just a tropical storm or cat 1. By land fall it was a 5
Hmmm...Fox says "every building totaled" at the AFB.
CBS shows damage, but not at the levels Fox claims.
sigh.
Supertyphoon category 6 Haiyan would have totaled them lol

All that from 86 mph winds? 🤔🤔🤔
No, it was 155 m.p.h.
No it was 160mph
@@gilmoregirls4evah Probably sustained around 150 with gusts to 180. The 160 was probably on a beach or in the water somewhere. Still killer storm though. Man I should have gone there and ridden it out in my car. Wanted to see a storm like this since I was ten. Hopefully due to climate change another cat 5 will hit the continental US within the next ten years and I will be there no matter what.
Why didn't they fly the planes out of there?
Because they are historic static displays and drone aircraft. Thats why.
Is it also Russian hackers?
Don't be sad guys
The governor has just said
We will rebuild your homes but not your lives
The taxpayers were eager to give 700 billions to the military
This 100 billions damages is nothing unpleasant
Michael gut gemacht.
Looks like silver flag is gone.
Well.. This is why they all went to Antarctica.
But they couldn't make the deal so....
They waged a war we cannot win!
They use the weather against us.
And what could we really do?
Nothing!
I know this sounds outlandish.
But.
It's whats all going on.
Godspeed to you all.
No, why?
Antartic is nothing more than a deception. However this earth is encircled by an Ice barrier (wall).
Those jets though, ouch. bet the repairs on those aren't going to be cheep.
Yes, it was a display of the aircraft they work or worked with on the base.
Susan Miller You can see at least five QF-16s, three transports, and an F-22 in the destroyed hangar. Most did evacuate to Wright Pat, but from the sources I’ve seen at least four F-22s were left behind as they were not airworthy.
Que estrago !
more f22s were damaged by a hurricane than an enemy attack?
Really, a ten million dollar craft left to be destroyed. Unwise decision on those in command.
Laurie M,
Each Base has display aircraft,. boats, ships etc. (retired/ discontinued from service).
It is not a "model" it is a real aircraft, usually one that accrued the maximum allowable hours on the airframe, and been stripped of as many usable parts as possible.
It's not a 10 million aircraft. It's a jet out of commission. If these weren't on display they'd be sent to the "boneyard" to be disassembled.
Majority of the Aircraft were evacuated before the storm hit.
There is a weapon testing mission at Tyndall and they use old aircraft as drones. Note the red tail and nose on some of them.
What I don't understand is why they didn't fly those planes to a base that wasn't in the path of the hurricane. In past hurricanes, I can remember planes being moved to safer bases and I can't understand why they didn't do that for such a major hurricane as this.
Rick Ammon good question
They were not planes being used. They were retired planes used purely for show. The actual planes were sent away from base before it hit.
@Amy, it didn't look that way to me. Are you affiliated with the base and have factual knowledge about the decision to not save those planes or are you just surmising?
There were some that were in the process of being repaired or undergoing maintenance and were not flyable.
The planes you saw flipped are display planes (I know this for a fact, because those models have been decommissioned for years). The planes you saw in the destroyed hanger are also decommissioned or unable to fly due to being under repairs. Also, retired aircraft are also converted to remote-controlled drones to be used for target practice, so they couldn't be flown to another base.
You'd think they'd moved the damn planes, there was plenty of warning??? Oh well print some more money
hit on purpose
Im sorry for destroying West Florida
For WWII, Vietnam, Palestina.
Why they did not let those expensive fighter jets stay at other air force bases for a few days (to avoid hurricane)?
God: ‘I AM GREATER!
That is the point!
Yes He is!!!!
Amen!@@King_drew
Good work, camarads!
Please note that the trees are felled as it was after the "Tunguska meteorite"
Не иначе Петров и Баширов во флакончике завезли..
I hope everyone understands we are having these hurricanes cause this world we live in today and the things ppl do
I would sell back the online degree in meteorology you received.
Well said, don't listen to the people that deny that humans are causing this all, they don't know what they are talking about.
Summer Locklear I concur...
morons there is weather on other planets with no proof of life on them
@David Webb They don't realize that a carbon tax ( on carbon based life forms ) is the ultimate control plan. The next step would be a tax on the measured amount of air and water an individual consumes.... ( Consumers consume after all. )
да уж... мощно!
Какая красотища!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So Sad,Went Inside That Base. Went My Older Son.Was Station There Back In 2008..Hope All The F-22 Got Out Of Dodge City..Before It Hit..And Pam.City,Mexico Beach All Gone Now..Clear Water, Clean Beach's Went For Sea Shells Hunting.. To Take Back To TX..Hope It All Come Back..
It is highly likely that all the planes and personal are safe
Margaret Gust -True,That Was Back 2008..Went I Went..Did Sad What Happen..
ruclips.net/video/kbMHqBnnBL4/видео.html F-22 2:39 слева в верху хвост
WOW, GOD BLESS ALL, it's looks more like a tornado then add on hurricane, my heart goes out to the ones that lost loved ones already which is a small number, but they believe it's going to grow pretty big because of the people that stayed behind and didn't believe the Winans I wanted anybody as we thought it was going to be this bad at all, just think two more miles per hour and it would have been a category 5 hurricane that in itself is scary, it's about time I think we start dismantling the solar panels that's causing a lot of all storms. So I have changed our way of living and it's a proven fact that wind turbines have created warmer climate by 4 degrees also, so I hope people look into this and think twice about wind farms and solar Farms because in my opinion it's not worth all this.
So ist es wen man nach oben spuckt
Весело у них там.
Отличные новости!....спасибо...
Lmao
The Messiah is coming.. these are the signs. repent n live in holiness,Righteousness
I know what it is,,,Satan is living in Florida!!!!
No God or the spirits are eveeywhere. Hurricanes are not all bad you know. Enjoy the power and forget about man made stuff.
CBS наверное, охреневает сколько здесь русских комментов.
tax payers will be happy to know these were left in the path,
Генералу Ураган присвоить очередное воинское звание.
useless crap now - obsolete
It's time to close this base down along with about 35 other Air Force bases. We are not at war! It's too damn expensive to keep those fly-boys on an adrenaline high.
We're not at war? What rock have you been under?
Tyndall is an important Homeland Security AFB.
Who exactly do you think is protecting you and your family?! Our military, that's who! God bless them all!
