Prosuper Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Came across this and noticed the tail number was a jet I used to be a Crew Chief on back in the mid 80's at EGUN. All I can say it was providence that it happened on the takeoff roll and not airborne which would have been a much worse outcome. http://www.omaha.com/news/military/disaster-averted-at-offutt-but-major-questions-remain/article_41bfc96a-8b03-510b-b0f1-7d7d8633cd26.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breckey Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 He said later he figured someone had just left a chicken sandwich smoking in the oven, but he quickly decided to abort the takeoff anyway.That would look great in the PMR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
