Hey...who parked the squad car last night?

[DFC5343]

Now what I want to know is: How the hell did thatcar get there? Did the F-15 hit it (front landing gear is intact) or did the police car hit it just right?

I have a Powerpoint show at home ( I'm uh, doing "research" at work right now) with the whole story in it at home. I can post it if y'all want.

There's a write-up about the F-15 crash here (http://www.aerospaceweb.org/aircraft/fighter/f15/pics04.shtml). From the page:

EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. (AP) -- An Air Force security man crashed his patrol car into a parked $39 million jet fighter while fumbling for his cell phone, totaling the car and damaging the plane, investigators say.

The Nov. 5 accident caused more than $62,000 in damage to the F-15's landing gear, according to an Air Force report released Wednesday. The report did not say how fast the car was going.

The driver, Airman Raymone Sydnor, was patrolling the flight line at this Florida Panhandle base when he dropped his personal phone and leaned down to search for it, investigators said.

Sydnor suffered a concussion. He received an undisclosed punishment.

As a result of the accident, the Air Force said, security personnel
have been ordered to get out of their cars every half-hour for a
10-minute break "to combat boredom and oxygenate blood flow."

BULLSHIT

As the manager of a 3,200-vehicle fleet, I'm here to tell ya that accidents like that happen when the driver fell asleep. Almost no exception. I have hundreds of cars driving around prison perimeters 24/7, and it really is boring, and the drivers really do fall asleep. What they DON'T do is "drop their cell phones." LOL

Thanks SPECWARNET. That keeps me from killing any brain cells with PP.

Danke for finding the article.

Here's a cool aircraft for you. First, a news article from Janes.com (http://www.janes.com/aerospace/military/news/jdw/jdw030217_1_n.shtml)

It looks a little like a Star Trek vessel, but the new Lockheed Martin stealthy aircraft design making its way into the light from the classified 'black' world is not science fiction.

If they ever retire these things we'll know the next war will be bad for the ground troops. This is an A-10 that took a surface to air missile and MADE IT BACK.

<in my best Aussie accent> You call that high ground? Now this is high ground! ;)

[NewportBarGuy]

Awwww man... Where's the one with all the MX missiles on it?

[Rotor Strike please]

The cop that hit the F-15 just so happened to have a female SF troop occupying the space where his lap belt was. I wonder how that happened?;) My buddy was standing on top of the F-15 doing a preflight inspection when it was struck. He was first to get to the car. It didn't make the news story at all.

He didn't strap himself in tight enough so started flapping around when they began pulling Gs. Apparently, he grabbed the wrong handle to hang on to. oops.

[DFC5343]

Dumbshit. I remember that story. Everyone who gets a ride has to do the training and get backseat qualed. Obviously he wasn't paying attention.
