It’s hard to believe that this August will mark the 20th

anniversary of Hurricane Andrew and the 8th anniver-

sary of Hurricane Charley. Both of these storms devas-

tated parts of Florida. We were hit hard by Hurricane

Charley with over 2 million dollars in damage right

here on our leasehold. The destructive effects of Char-

ley have forever changed the way we prepare for and

“weather” storms.

In the event that a named storm threatens Central Flor-

ida, please remember that if you are a tie down or

shade hangar customer and you would like to have

your aircraft secured in an enclosed hangar for the

storm, you will need to fill out our special Hurricane

Hangar Agreement. Space is available on a first-come-

first-serve basis and a minimum of 2 nights commit-

ment is required. This enables us to stack hangars

more tightly than usual to accommodate additional

aircraft...a process that takes a long time to assemble and dismantle safely.

If there’s anything good about a hurricane, it’s that you usually know when one is

headed your way. Summer time thunderstorms are a different story. They can

pop up with little or no notice. As we say, “There’s a first lightning strike in every

thunderstorm!” During the summer months, we closely monitor the weather for

potential storm development. We work extra hard to get returning aircraft tied

down or put away as quickly as possible so we can avoid a rush in the event of a

storm. Customers can help us stay on top of things by alerting us via phone or

radio of your return.

Please remember that if lightning is judged by a

Showalter employee to be within 5 miles of the air-

port, we will suspend ramp services to keep our peo-

ple safe. If a request for services is called in just

before a storm hits we may not have enough time to

safely secure your aircraft before our people are

called inside. If you request services during or just

after a storm, please know that we will prioritize

your request and complete it as soon as it is safe.

Please let us know if you see hazards on our leasehold like loose objects, old tie

down ropes, etc., so we can rectify things quickly. We appreciate your help pro-

tecting lives and property during a storm!

Lodi’s Lowdown

Lodi’s Lowdown for the month of May was correctly answered by Nicholas Musashe, Dave

Gardner, Mary Maher and Michael Reale. The Space Shuttle Discovery flew 39 missions and

spent a total of 365 days in space. Thanks for answering!

The question for June is:

During the Space Shuttle program, how many times were there

shuttles on both launch pads at the same time?

Please email your answers to jenny@showalter.com.
