HeyEng Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 A P-8 Poseidon slid off the runway and into the water in Hawaii, possibly due to WX. No injuries reported and from the photos the damage looks minimal, but an inspection might reveal a hull loss if there is major damage to the MLG trunnions and engine pylons and wing spars.

That's one VERY expensive mishap. I complained the other day that aircrews downed aircraft for a myriad of questionable reasons to allow a stay in a tropical paradise. This crew wanted to leave no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I had to fly both before I could admit it, but these cheese-loving, surrender monkeys sure build a better airplane. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyEng Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 Subsequent photos show that the fuselage is cracked open so this aircraft will probably be written off. The P-8 has been one of the better DOD acquisitions and had a relatively smooth testing and fielding especially when you compare it to the KC-46!
