“But the official did not known how many planes were at Tyndall during the Category 4 storm.”

If no one kept a record, a lot of folks in the chain of command need to be sacked.

Can you imagine having a missing F-22 on your property sheet?

Many of the planes left behind were F-22 Raptor stealth fighter jets, said a defense official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. But the official did not known how many planes were at Tyndall during the Category 4 storm.

Just because a defense official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, did not know how many planes were at Tyndall during the Category 4 storm, doesn't mean Tyndall base leadership, and Air Education and Training Command (AETC) didn't have records of which aircraft were on the ground. Operations has a record of which aircraft are non-flyable, so aircrew won't be assigned to those aircraft, and Maintenance has a record, so aircraft maintainers will be assigned to those aircraft.

There should have been zero flyable aircraft left on the field or in hangers in advance of the storm. Dereliction of duty by the command at best, sabotage at worst.
