United States Air Force C-17 Damaged

A Boeing C-17 Globemaster III of the United States Air Force was struck by two unoccupied private jets at Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport during a strong windstorm, damaging a wing. The parked business jets broke free of their tie-downs and were driven into the transport by high winds. No injuries were reported. The airlifter required repair before returning to service, an unusual example of weather-driven ground damage to a strategic transport parked at a civil field.
