SUX Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3060026/US-Air-Force-refuelling-aircraft-falls-radar-English-Channel.html?ito=social-facebook Just saw this on the internet. I hope there is more to this story and they landed safely after losing some of their avionics or something. Anybody know anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azimuth Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Prayers for the crew. Less than a week for Shell 77 anniversary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Napoleon_Tanerite Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Unconfirmed reports via Facebook that the crew is safe and the jet is on the ground. Edit... Confirmed via command post, jet on the ground, crew safe. Edit 2: I hate when the media catch wind of an EP. They always try to spin it as a disaster in the hope of generating hits. Fuck them in the ear for whipping everyone connected to the tanker community into a panic, especially considering Shell 77 is still a pretty fresh wound.

stract Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 NT, where is the Command Post verification? Would be helpful to point folks to something official as FB is awash in unconfirmed reports, as you mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
