Tampa-Area GA Airports Picking Up The Pieces

Three Tampa-area General Aviation (GA) airports are on the mend after suffering storm damage from Hurricane Milton in Florida. According to information released today by Tampa International Airport (KTPA) and the Hillsborough County Aviation Authority, Peter O Knight Airport (KTPF), Tampa Executive Airport (KVDF), and Plant City Municipal Airport (KPCM) all suffered damage extensive enough that “crews are still working to fully recover.” Tampa International resumed full operations quickly after a damage assessment and immediate clean-up efforts.

Manatee Airport (48X) south of Tampa Bay near Palmetto suffered devastating damage to hangars and aircraft.

I have a friend who built a multistory house on the airport at Cedar Key (CDK). I haven’t been able to get in touch with him (he wasn’t living there during Helene) to find out how badly the airport was damaged. Anyone know?
