SocialD 1,156 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) Seems par for the course wrt to construction projects on DOD installations. Like being required to make an alert facility be ADA compliant. A facility that sits on a flightline, where only able-bodied service members will live/work...beyond ridiculous. For what we got, the money we spent on that project should be criminal. Edited April 17, 2020 by SocialD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

M2 1,959 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Picture from the Frogfoot accident, some claiming the tanker hit saved the C-130 but the missile ended up hitting a house killing two adults and (now claimed) three children. It is unknown whether there was anyone in or around the Herc at the time of the incident. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scooter14 184 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 How did the fuel truck not blow up? Even with the warhead not exploding I’m surprised that the exhaust didn’t ignite the fuel fumes that had to have been present in the tank. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

war007afa 183 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 So here's an interesting read from Task and Purpose. Dude refused to turn over his weapons after making threatening comments to his chain-of-command in an email. When they went to his on-base residence to take his guns away, he went full Code of Conduct on that ass. What I love the most about this is how his wife turned it into a team sport: "Injerd’s wife then opened the front door to their home, and the airman retreated into the house, shut the door, broke a back window, crawled out, scaled the base perimeter face and escaped into the woods. https://taskandpurpose.com/news/missing-airman-dyess-air-force-base Quote Link to post Share on other sites
