Airbus MOB and Hurricane Sally
I would assume that the Airbus facility at MOB was build to withstand strong hurricanes. With Sally going to get awfully close to it with 100MPH winds, and 6-9ft storm surge are there any almost finished aircraft sitting outside that can't be flown but are in danger?
Re: Airbus MOB and Hurricane Sally
Mobile absorbs tropical storms frequently enough that I can’t imagine Airbus built anything there that couldn’t absorb 100 MPH winds. That being said, Mobile is expecting two feet of rain as the storm passes. That’ll cause issues, but they should be short lived.
Re: Airbus MOB and Hurricane Sally
They have evacuated at least one aircraft, an NK frame that I understand is currently F- registered..
