All three planes were Cessna single-engine aircrafts owned by Bemidji Aviation. They were not commercial aircrafts.

“We’ve never had a plane damaged from a storm since I’ve been here these 16 years,” said Bemidji Aviation’s vice president Tracie Walter.

Bemidji Aviation reports one plane is completely destroyed, while the plane that was spun around will be rebuilt. The third aircraft is still being looked at.
