Just about any other week, the sinking of the HMS Bounty and the drowning of one of its crewmembers would be the top news story in the country. This hasn’t been any ordinary week, however, as superstorm Sandy caused unthinkable devastation across much of the Northeast and shut down dozens of airports.
I’m from New Jersey but spent the week in Orlando at the NBAA Convention, where attendance was noticeably lighter due to the storm’s impact on travel from the North. I was personally affected by the storm when Teterboro Airport flooded, submerging my truck parked at Jet Aviation under four to five feet of water.
