black hills tj Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) Glad they are ok. The frequency of incidents is getting old quick. I am glad I am no longer in the T6. Judging from the crash site location, they were likely on final. Edited September 18, 2018 by black hills tj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brabus Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) Probably fucked up an ELP...flying canceled, UPT will be all sims until further notice. Also, might as well skip IFF while we’re at it. Edited September 19, 2018 by brabus 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, might as well skip IFF while we’re at it. Quick to jump to conclusion. Guy is a good dude and a great pilot. I'm not saying you are wrong, but based on the location of the incident, I'd disagree with the ELP assumption. EDIT: Hoping its sarcasm carried over from the ELP thread.

AZwildcat Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Man I wonder if MB is gonna run out of ties. Glad they're okay. Gotta love the locals running out to help, God bless Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully at RND ours are... and apparently just in time. Sounds like a perfect example of why flying with your mask down due to OBOGs should not be an acceptable "fix", had their masks been down they both would have some serious scar face going on likely now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindsight2020 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I was literally doing my egress rehack at RND today, thinking fuck why do I have to take the day off to rehash this shit. Then this happens on my way out the gate. Martin Baker FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I left KEND only 6-9 of the jets were fixed, so things may have changed but given that it took 3.5 years to get that many fixed I'm not confident.

IDALPHA Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) Did the AF stand down the T-6 at all? Or did they bury their nugget in the sand and pretend all is well? Edited September 20, 2018 by IDALPHA Words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black hills tj Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 T38s resumed around noon, I am sure T-1s followed suit several hours later after they enjoyed sleeping in and grabbing some lunch 😉 I didn't see any T6s in the sky today. https://www.12ftw.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/1639721/update-2-t-6a-texan-ii-crash/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bode Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 RND T-6s stood down all day. All UPT IPs meet with their leadership from what I was told. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADFNZ Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Judging by the pics, it looks like it went down in the field across from Holy Cross Cemetery. Does that check with anyone there? It's been almost a decade since I was in PIT, but doesn't that coincide with the st-in ground track? 90 to initial is more over The Forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
