Ok that is it. Beer time for me Thanks for the info Medic. FYI 1500-2000 F = 800-1000 C Makes sense, we stress relieve pressure vessels at around 650 C Every day above ground is a good day.

I suppose the best discription would be that it looked like the inside of a huge cold, empty pizza oven( with a buckled roof). The only things left to see were two engine blocks with partially melted props, two landing gears and the remains of a motorcycle frame. There was a light grey ash on the floor in a crucifix shape where the wings and fuselages were. Every day above ground is a good day.

No trusses that I remember. Flat roofed hanger with straight I-Beam horizontal supports approx 6"web these bowed into a U. The vertical support columns had bent over as the roof sagged down, hence the M shape. The plane aluminium was ashed...freaky. Every day above ground is a good day.

Ordinary construction steel, girders, beams etc. I am trying to figure out what temp that hanger fire got to. The steel construction had not melted but the roof beams had sagged so that the whole thing looked like a MacDonalds M. Every day above ground is a good day.

Hi y'all I ducked out of work early yesterday to go take a look at the damage. It was really freaky. All that is left of the Cessnas is the engine blocks and a powder. Looks like my lecturers were right. Under the correct conditions aluminium burns just fine. Other than that, lots of reserve pilot chute springs lying around but what was not made of steel has simply disappeared. Each rig rack has a hard housing from the cut away system draped around the back but other than that no evidence of a rig ever having been there. Btw. I do not jump at Skydive Cape Town. Skydive Citrusdal is my home DZ, it is about 100miles out of town. The Cape Town concern was a commercial DZ specialising in the tourist trade. I have friends who made their living working there. I have put in my share of jumps at SDCT though and the view is magnificent. I have attached a pic (not very good) so you can get an idea. Every day above ground is a good day.

You gotta love Namibian chicks

Particularly those planes. They been part of the Cape skydiving community for decades. A mate of mine just went over there. He says there is NOTHING left. Every day above ground is a good day.

The fire was called in at 3 in the morning so nobody was around to get hurt. As for the insurance, I hope they were covered. Even so, it is the loss of earnings which is going to be the big problem. Every day above ground is a good day.

He he he All hairdo and no monster Every day above ground is a good day.

There was a fire at Skydive Capetown last night. One hanger 10 tandem rigs ? personal rigs and equipment. 2 Cessnas. A 182 and a 206 Poof!!!!!!!!! The police are investigating a case of arson. I have two friends who make a living jumping there. They are now without a DZ or equipment. That just sux. Every day above ground is a good day.
