I was entertaining the dreaded idea of computerized military air craft being manipulated. This is tech war we’re in.
Four planes down in roughly 24 hours, if you count our MARINE carrier jet down in East Africa, also on Tuesday.
A year of crashes, in the air and in the water, large military ships oddly ramming small boats, etc. It was called poor training and the story died.
The ship handling was poor training. People on the bridge didn't die, if they hadn't been able to control the vessel they would have been shouting that from the get go to save their asses.
Crashes: F-16 single engine, check the records on it
Harrier do I have to say it? Yuma ranges look like a Jart competition for all the Harrier tails sticking out of the sand.
CH-53 (in all variants) again, check the records. Now bigger and stronger look at the tail boom, they had to angle the tail rotor because they couldn't build one big enough to counter the torque from the main rotor. Serious aerodynamic forces inflight.
