A big and popular military airshow in Kansas was cut short over the weekend after unexpected storms forced base officials to close down the flight line.
The storms swept tents, damaged aircraft, and even flipped a plane upside down at the Frontiers in Flight Airshow near Wichita, Kansas.
10 people injured
At least 10 people — six military personnel and four civilian vendors at the airshow — sustained injuries as a wet microburst, or a strong downdraft in the middle of a thunderstorm, on Sunday morning brought wind gusts of up to 54 mph.
