Air Force is being extremely tight lipped about what ordnance was onboard, and they still have a 2 mile perimeter, flight restrictions as well as a full freeway closure for an incident that happened yesterday. I'm thinking it was carrying a tactical nuke. :island14:

Move along. Nothing to see here.

Not to worry, pilot will blame maintenance....

Very interesting that there was no fire or explosion.

Every time a cheap ass Raven UAV would crash in the sandbox, they’d send out a SOF Team to go find it and recover it. They didn’t want to UAVs to fall into enemy hands who would reverse engineer them or make IEDs out of the electronics. |

We had a high visibility mission show up. That means folks well up the Chain of Command want to know steps along the way. We do our normal "Load that shit on that plane". Now since it was high vis, we had people, ie folks with big desks, showing up to watch. We load in a normal time frame. The crew dicks around and the aircraft doesn't meet the time window for takeoff. The crew then blames Aerial Port. Here comes the :Jeff '79: Since it was a dog and pony show, the bosses knew it wasn't our fault. Guess who chuckled watching the A/C crew "Lack integrity" and get called out directly. So many times it was a finger pointing contest but this one was a slam dunk chuckle fest for the good ole Load Team. |

Otherwise, an unarmed fighter jet is nothing more than an expensive lawn dart. |
