Strong winds wreak havoc at Cowley airport

A storm on Sunday afternoon brought strong wind gusts that sent a trampoline in Lovell up and over a power line, tree branches and other debris flying, destroyed an expensive wind sock at the Cowley Airport and caused severe damage to a privately-owned airplane hangar.
According to Big Horn County airport manager Paul Thur, the wind sock, which is owned by the airport, will cost several thousand dollars to replace.
He could not give an estimate of the damage to the hangar because it was privately owned by Curtis Abraham.  According to Thur, the hangar appeared to have sustained severe damage.
Abraham was not available for comment.
“We lost our main wind sock, which was torn out of the ground and destroyed and a hangar on lot 10 was also destroyed,” explained Thur.
