Nothing like a good “Maytag†tent photo.
This tent belongs to the West Virginia Civil Air Patrol … All the cadets placed their day equipment into this tent, but no one noticed that it was not staked down. When all the cadets removed their equipment, a gust of wind knocked the tent over. (The top of the tent is facing down.) At the top of the tent is a screen so the tent was more like a parachute. The tent was in the air for about 15 seconds and reached an altitude of 30 feet. Photo by Rocco S. Rossetti

And another:
… at Maker Faire Austin, the lights went out. All power was lost in one whole area of the fairgrounds. It turned out that a dome tent from the camping area had taken flight in a dust devil and crashed into the power lines. Fernando Rizo got a couple of great shots of the tent moments before impact.

Leave a comment if you’ve ever had your tent take flight.

Hmmmm…These pics remind me of many of those faked UFO shots! 🙂
But I do believe they are real. Never quite had a flying tent, but I’ve had one go bounding across a meadow.
