That is sad, but it looks like they are slowly getting on the road to recovery.

Does anyone have any current information on the status of the LSFM. How did the building fare and are the aircraft lost or repairable? I know they didn't get all of them out. most of there flying collection was moved prior. Will they be attending any airshows this year or are they in a rebuilding effort for the season?
