Pictures of the AA Hangar being built in Tulsa.

Which was the wind speed earlier last week 😉
Too bad it's facing east and west...gonna be a very hot summer in there

Not any hotter than any of the hangars that face North/South? You ever work in 4A or 4D in the summer? Those are hot hangars

Military uses a similar design now. DOD standard is 65 mph sustained winds for 30 minutes, and these hold up.

Not sure about a direct hit from a tornado, but the same can be said for any pre-engineered sheet metal structure. Fabric might even be better because it will give, as opposed to resisting the and putting all the wind energy against the frame...

<_< ----- Your not sure of a direct hit?----- I am!----- It would take it out! But like you said, it would also take out a conventional building! I believe what your going to have here is wether it could survive a "near miss!"? Which could easily be in excess of 65 MPH! The article said it survived a Tornado!---- Right? My question would be when, and where? And what do they call a tornado?

September 2005 in ABE. NOAA confirms there was a tornado in that part of PA, so if NOAA say it was a tornado, it was a tornado...

<_< -------- Oh I'm not disputing what they're saying. I'm just asking myself, would I want to be working in that hanger if in fact there was a tornado, say like the one that hit Oak City a few years back, in the neighborhood? :unsure:
