January 6, 20178 yr B-52 lost an engine over North Dakota. Being reported as literally losing the engine. Engine falls from B-52 bomber over North Dakota Edit - Sounds more like an uncontained failure. Edited January 6, 20178 yr by flynhigh

Glad the guys were able to get the jet down safely. Especially given the age of the B-52 and the relatively small fleet of strategic bombers in the U.S inventory (Including the B-1s and B-2s) Obviously too early to say but a whole lot of different potential underlying issues that can be very expensive to fix

January 8, 20178 yr Hey, during a mass squadron attack on a large target array, I had the largest miss at 330 meters. Wish that had been un-scoreable. (In my defense, I was #24 across the target array and there was considerable smoke from BDU's, smoky SAMs, and flares along with some low cloud cover. I did a level delivery and couldn't see squat so I went TLAR relative to where I thought my specific target should have been but was just a tad short.) On the up side, I did return home with the same number of engines I started with but was justifiably chastised in the mass debrief.

January 11, 20178 yr Doesn't appear to have contacted the flap, which is good. I'd hate to be a Minot BUFF maintainer with my name on anything engine-related in the forms...

January 15, 20178 yr Interesting that that looks like it's been shot from a chase ship. Wing's flexed up too much for it to be on the ground.
