episode_narrativeAn unusually strong dust devil formed along the leading edge of a sea breeze front under clear skies. As the dust devil moved southeast across Brookhaven Calabro Airport in Shirley, it snapped two restraining rope lines and lifted a 2000 pound single-engine Piper Cherokee plane about 25 feet above the ground and tossed it. It also lifted the aircraft cowling, which landed about 200 yards away. Witnesses saw a swirling column of dust about 75 feet tall when the damage occurred.
