Saw that from another source....no damage to any aircraft, although I think one of the Cubs might be sporting some gravel rash on its left wingtip..

That is some wind! A couple of Cubs that took off are almost hovering at some point.

Not the first incident to happen at the USAF Academy. Back in the late 60's a F-105 shattered a lot of windows injuring a number of people when it slipped through the Mach very low - opp's! Lots of red faces that day!
