flynhigh Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) B-52 lost an engine over North Dakota. Being reported as literally losing the engine. Engine falls from B-52 bomber over North Dakota Edit - Sounds more like an uncontained failure. Edited January 6, 2017 by flynhigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad the guys were able to get the jet down safely. Especially given the age of the B-52 and the relatively small fleet of strategic bombers in the U.S inventory (Including the B-1s and B-2s) Obviously too early to say but a whole lot of different potential underlying issues that can be very expensive to fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TreeA10 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Hey, during a mass squadron attack on a large target array, I had the largest miss at 330 meters. Wish that had been un-scoreable. (In my defense, I was #24 across the target array and there was considerable smoke from BDU's, smoky SAMs, and flares along with some low cloud cover. I did a level delivery and couldn't see squat so I went TLAR relative to where I thought my specific target should have been but was just a tad short.) On the up side, I did return home with the same number of engines I started with but was justifiably chastised in the mass debrief. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

08Dawg Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Interesting that that looks like it's been shot from a chase ship. Wing's flexed up too much for it to be on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
