You can see the footprint where this hangar USED to be.  It moved itself under the 'T' shelter.  Yes, there was a plane inside---a nice one, too.

A little experimental plane ripped out its moorings and jumped the fence, landing on a Prius

Sounds like there were no personnel injured, so I guess that is a plus   :)
