This is the second airforce incident in as many days. I wonder what’s going on, first the f-15s and now this. Very strange.

Either coincidence, or the celebrity death factor. They always come in threes.

“This is the second airforce incident in as many days. I wonder what’s going on, first the f-15s and now this. Very strange.”

There was an article in the local paper last week where the Airfarce err force was whining about needing more money because their planes are old and need replacing.

IIRC they are asking somthing like 20 to 50 billion a year for the next 4 to 5 years to recapitalize their fleet.

Funny how airplane maintenance wasn’t such a high priority when the Airforce was wasting millions on developing new “Airman Battle Uniforms” and paying full BAQ for those who live in Army barracks.

Lets not forget how the Airforce is beholden to the criminal enterprise known as Lockheed Martin that seeks to bilk taxpayers out of billions of dollars through “cost plus” contracts.
