from reddit: "Hi everyone, active duty KC-10 Boom Operator with direct information. The aircraft had the boom gimble (attachment point of the boom to the fuselage) replaced a few weeks ago. Two days prior to this incident, a boom operator instructor experienced uncommanded boom inputs. The boom became erratic and hydraulic power was quickly cut and the boom was stowed. MX could not duplicate the issue on the ground, ran some ops checks, and the jet was greened up. Yesterday, as the jet entered it's orbit, the boom was lowered and immediately became uncontrollable. It was swinging beyond it's roll limitations and eventually ripped from the aircraft, causing a loss of the number 2 hydro system. The crew landed safely."
been out for 3 years, no clue what those mongoloids are restricting these days.
Yes.
if you're not looking at the airlines, PM me for (free) resume assistance.
2...don't have kids that I know of, but if it came up, I would steer them towards the Coast Guard. I'm willing to bet I was Blue Falconed by Big Blue harder than anyone else here. Was it worth it for me? You bet. I have experiences, friends, and lessons learned from active duty that 99.69% of the population will never get the opportunity to receive. Could I watch my theoretical kids go through the asshattery? Fuck no.
"If the chute didn't properly deploy, that would be fatal," Michael Barr ( aviation safety instructor at University of Southern California) said. Really earning that paycheck there, Mike. A toast...

How do you plan on collecting?
Are you working with any VSO? Those guys know what they're doing...
I got an email from the CEO the other day saying they are switching over systems and they apologize for the delay.
you have to build a regulation flickerball field in your backyard.
I guess I'll be the contrarian and say leave it. This is really the only place for people to engage in discourse "anonymously", vs commenting on FB posts, and I think there is a lot of value in that. If you don't like it, don't go to that sub-forum.
Welcome home, Captain.
wait, why can Steve say 'fuck' and no one else can? edit: nevermind, apparently it's back.
brrr
upvote for homebrew!
sorry, thought you said 'breakfast.'
Why did you pull the trigger 21k times more than necessary?
go on...
Right after USAFA graduation... for the life support team.
I think it's DFresh, increasing traffic and lining his own pockets.
already a thread in the bar
