Well my question is severalfold.
1) How did they have a loaded A-10 sitting on the runway pointing at ANYthing.
2) How was the gun not locked out?
3) Was the mechanic named “Mohammad”?
I was a Vulcan platoon leader for about a year, and we used two guns as part of a reserve force at a nearby Nike Hercules site. During those exercises, we left the motor pool with both guns loaded with live ammo to the breech. Naturally, I took two of my best gunners for the exercise.
No doubt, it would have been bad for the guns to "accidentally" fire into a bunker containing nukes. lol
Post 82, please.
