Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
On another note, putting the section explaining what a 'Class B incident' is BEFORE the piece stating that multiple aircraft have experienced a 'Class B incident' (so that it looks like it is being brought up unprompted) is just the sort of excellent editing I'd expect from 'Airforce Times'; it's also nice to know that 900 billion is going towards outstanding maintenance and safety systems.
Previous belly landings like this have taken as much as five years to repair, and necessitated cannibalizing other crashed airframes for parts to complete
This is the military America is always saber rattling about!
Good thing so many of them crash then, lots of spare parts!
F-22 Raptor of Theseus
An F-22 belly landing would be a class A incident though surely, since it's more than $2 million worth of damages.
no doubt
critical support to the US Military for describing catastrophic fuck ups to the public the same way I explain catastrophic fuck ups to my boss
I'd like to imagine if it was the same pilot that caused both incidents but he got John McCain'd into the air force so he can't get fired.
Hung over failson pilot attempts to take off, pushes the stick forward instead of pulling it back, nose of the plane scrapes along the runway.
2 Johnnie 2 McCain: ok can I get a redo? I didn't know it was inverted controls.
Next day, it happens again
Does anyone have the article of how the US military wasn’t able to produce extra parts for some weaponry/combat vehicle to do repairs because they decided to get rid of the mold from their storage room? They sold it to a private buyer and had to track him down to repurchase it from him lol
