In other news, the saga of Sig P320 uncommanded discharges continues, this time tragically claiming the life of an F.E. Warren Airmen. I'm not super smart on the internal mechanisms that led to these problems, but I know it's been a controversy across the gun world for quite some time, with Sig even claiming they fixed the issue on newer models at one point. Sad it took an airmen dying to finally do something about it. In summary: classic air force waiting until it's too late to address a clear safety concern. Also Sig is absolutely cooked.

go easy on the guy he's having a hard day at work

Met Huggy for the first time at Oshkosh today. Here he is enthusiastically holding court and patiently answering all questions from the audience in the dreadful heat. Came back an hour later and was still at it. Great rep for the retiring U-2 program.

Between the accounts of cops and competitive shooters having discharges in holsters, and the way Sig has handled it. Fuck that gun
-
I'm usually very skeptical of gun malfunction allegations that never seem to happen during testing, but the case against Sig just keeps getting worse. I'm not sure how an in-holster discharge can be explained away, assuming that's what actually happened.

Just saw this incident in Sweden. A pilot tested above Swedish limit for blood alcohol and was detained which delayed the flight back to JFK. Hopefully nobody here involved/impacted. https://viewfromthewing.com/delta-pilot-arrested-just-before-takeoff-for-failing-breathalyzer-every-passenger-now-owed-705-cash/

Well this is gonna get REAL interesting https://www.warren.af.mil/News/Releases/Article/4251188/90th-missile-wing-confirms-on-base-airman-fatality/ Confirmed M18 discharge while in the holster apparently being set down on desk. Global Strike has mandated no M18 use until investigation complete. I'm sure the other commands will follow suit.

Thread revival 20+ years later!! 😁😁 Seagull smashes cockpit of £73m Spanish fighter jet The moment a seagull collided with a Spanish fighter jet and smashed through the cockpit was captured in an extraordinary photograph. The £73m warplane was performing in the Eurofighter display at San Javier Air Base on June 15 when it had a stroke of bad luck. The pilot landed and was unharmed. Aviation photographer Javier Alonso de Medina Salguero unwittingly captured the spectacle, only realizing when he checked his camera later on. Bird collisions with aircraft are a regular occurrence, with 13,000 reported annually in the US alone. But for a bird to shatter a pilot’s glass window, and for a photographer to capture the scene, is exceedingly rare.

I watched the Mover and Gonky podcast on this incident, they basically said the same thing! It’s always good to keep the PA announcements short and sweet!

Commercial 767s don’t carry 463L pallets that have to be interchangeable for every USAF cargo and tanker aircraft.

I couldn’t even get through half of that recording, cringe is an understatement.

Buff was doing a flyover for the state fair about a mile off the approach end of 31 while the 175 was on short final. All this happened between 500-1000 agl. It probably was a bit sporty. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He's got a pretty bad conspiracy detector, based on the past five years or so

@Negatory My post was completely apolitical and applies to every person, regardless of party, or any other, affiliation. You should try that some time, it’ll probably reduce your blood pressure.

You clearly want Trump to be guilty of anything that can stick. Are you NSAplayer's side account? BTW, since when does America hold the president to a higher moral standard? Roosevelt, Kennedy, Clinton...all adulterers that didn't do a good job of hiding it, and all would have been re-elected if it weren't for death or term limits. Not that this is pertinent, but that statement is ignorant at best. I have zero desire for a pedophile to be in charge of our country, just like I didn't want a mentally impaired octogenarian in charge. The difference is myself and others on here don't hope for the worst because we don't like the party the current president represents.

You don’t know that. Many witnesses have alleged wrongdoing, and many may come forward to substantiate the dozens of claims against him if more concrete evidence were to emerge to substantiate claims. And there are tens of thousands of videos and pictures of abuse. Time to have some more people comb through that. On top of this, the bar for the president or politicians is not simply criminal charges. We expect our politicians to hold themselves to a moral standard, and many voted for Trump to release the files. If they were to find out that Trump was a large part of the files, that would significantly impact politics - mainly in that it would bring some people crashing back to realization of the swamp.
-
I mean, are these files newly convincing anyone that Trump has an unsavory personal history? It's like people who were suddenly shocked to see Joe Biden was old after his poor debate performance - like, where the hell have you been the last couple years?

Completely agree they should release everything to “put it to rest.” Let the chips fall where they may. That said, nobody is going to prison solely based on being on a list/in someone’s “black book.” That kind of evidence proves nothing criminal, and anybody who thinks a list alone will drive justice is naive. There needs to be hard evidence of criminal wrongdoing, and unless a jury/judge is seeing photo/video/DNA evidence, nothing is going to happen.
