Plane Flips Over During Storm Because It Was Not Tied Down

He’ll Remember Next Time.

You don’t always have to tie down your plane, but when there some chance, in this case, 100% chance of a storm, well, tie your girl down.

An average Cessna 172 weighs about 1,700 lbs when empty.

In this case, you’ll see a perfect reason for that, although we don’t have to explain it. Planes are meant to fly and they fly because wings generate lift, sooooo….if crazy winds come up under your wings they’ll take your plane right up.

In this case, up and over.

Check out the video below to see what we mean. Also, not only did this guy ruin his plane, he also hit others standing nearby.

Not a good move man. Not a good move.
