Mississippi river flooding

Recommended Posts

I suppose that many of you have heard about the severe flooding in parts of the Midwest. Here is a photo of the owner of the FBO and flight school at St. Charles County airport (KSET), about 2 miles from the river. Fortunately he still has a sense of humor, but then again, he doesn't have a choice. I have a hangar there, but I don't think my airplane is going back there for quite a while.

Man I sure hope he was able to get most of the stuff out of there first!

Yeah, they did OK. The large hangar they use has a second level, and they have enough staff that they had a lot of help moving it. The nice part is that a nearby airport in Creve Coeur, 1H0, let us tie down our airplanes there for no charge, and is letting St. Charles Flying Service operate out of their airport and office. How's that for the brotherhood of aviation?

my hangar is next to Gary's at KSET.

I was flying last night out of Creve Coeur, 1H0

it too is now flooding. 6-10 inches of Water between all the hangars now.

some running off was covering a bit of taxiway.

finally good news is it's supposed to be dry rain free few days coming..
