Boy, that's an understatement!! :D

once in awhile? what do you mean? that is not supposed to happen at ALL!

that dude in the picture made me laugh!

how does this happen? hit the wrong button?:confused:

You are correct... its not SUPPOSED to happen.... but I've seen it happen twice. Both sidewinders too.... Seen a nosewheel tire go the same way too.... Aircraft stopped... One tire didn't....

As to why it happens, I'm no Aviation Ordnanceman (AO) but I would think it would be a malfunction within the pylon or the ordnanceman who mounted it made a mistake.

Trust me. There's a lot of explaining to do when your AIM-9 decides to take a drink!

I've also seen a gas cap fly off of an external tank after catching a wire spraying JP-5 (fuel) right in front of the starboard intake.

Fuel goes into intake... and you've got an AIRCRAFT FIRE!

Ahhh yes, nothing like being paid an E-4's salary while making sure the sidewinders, sparrows, and phoenix missiles don't cook off....

You'll never hear about THIS fun stuff at the recruiter's office! ;)

Well Ive never seen a Army guy do that...



GO ARMY!

OMG I woulda had a heart attack if I was that guy running. One second everything is fine the next you have a missle on it way up your arse! ACK!!!! And this happens often??? Man I'm glad I decided the military wasn't my thing.

Boy, I'm glad I'm a girl! hahaha:D I would not want to be that guy.

That guy in the pic, messed up, he should have jumped on it-lol

Talk about the ride of your life!!! All I can say is later on that night.....http://deephousepage.com/smilies/bongsmi.gif


Caymon

hehe woah thats messed up. it was so close to touching the ground

What does you being a chick have anything to do with not being in the Miltary? There are women in the military you know.... :rolleyes:


As for that guy... yeah, it would suck to be him.

Really, women in the military? i would've never guessed... Wow! :eek:

Ok, Dr. Strangelove.;)

WHAT ABOUT MAJOR KONG???

Was that sarcasm? :confused: :rolleyes: :D

Yes it was.

I wish people would lay off the sarcasm. That one was so dripping, I had to break out the mop!

*begins mopping up the sarcasm that has dripped all over the floor*

What a mess. It's going to take days to dry!

*resumes mopping*
