CENTENNIAL, Colo. — About a dozen aircraft were damaged by strong winds at Centennial Airport Monday morning.
Airport spokesperson Samantha Blymyer said heavy wind gusts caused damage to 12 parked aircraft. Sometime between 6:15 and 6:30 a.m., the wind overturned one of those planes, a single-engine, fixed-wing AT-4.
That plane and the plane it blew into both sustained serious damage, Blymyer said. The other 10 aircraft had minor damage.
Jeff Greenstein, who owns the plane that the AT-4 flipped on top of, said both planes are likely totaled.
"Both wings are damaged," Greenstein said of his plane. "The tail is more or less completely crushed, and the landing gear have been holding up the weight of two planes right now, which they're not designed for. So there's a lot of damage."
Blymyer said there were no injuries related to the damage.
The National Weather Service reported wind gusts up to 64 mph at the Centennial Airport Monday morning.
Gusty winds caused damage across the Denver metro area Monday, bringing down trees and knocking out power. A High Wind Warning remains in effect through 6 a.m. Tuesday for the Front Range foothills, and until midnight Monday for near the foothills.
