Joint STARS aircraft undergoing work at a contractor facility may have been sabotaged.
A tersely worded statement issued by Robins Air Force Base on Tuesday indicated that workers at Northrup Grummans Lake Charles, La., facility have discovered severed wires on an E-8C jet.
To ensure the integrity of the maintenance process, we are working with Northrop Grumman to get to the root cause, the statement added. The matter is currently under investigation and more details will be released as they become available.

Don’t hire Moslems for defense contract jobs.
That warning will fall on deaf ears, but it needs to be said.

Union employees.
My brother used to find union saboteurs had stuffed hammers, bolts and other whatsits into the moving parts of F-15 engines from time to time. The test engineers had to go over the engines very carefully before running tests because of infantile union workers.

Grandma’s got lawyers now and is actually thinking about suing people who have been reproducing her “art” on tee shirts and mugs.

I haven’t heard about this but I worked at Boeing Everett plant and it happened up there. From disgruntled workers I suppose. It cost Boeing allot of money to repair this.

I don’t get the significance of the picture; who drew it and how does it relate to the story?
