Involved in an incident.
Developed a structural crack in a wing around the time Wurtsmith went on the BRAC list. Since the jets were being sent to AMARC, it wasnt fixed. So it spent months in hangar queen status pending a one-time flight to D-M. Naturally, it spent most of that time as a weapons load trainer, where it was used so much that one day grease seeped into a pressure-activated device and fired the front half of the explosive jettison system for the left pylon as the load crew pumped the pins into place. Nobody was hurt. |
