Sorry, I just ASS-U-ME-d everybody had heard about it. A Navy F-18, I'm guessing from Oceana, was returning from the practice range and dropped a ten pound smoke bomb in the center of Virginia Beach. The investigation is ongoing.0 -
it is possible he had a hung bomb, during the
flight back, it loosened up and fell free.
I stopped by my cousin on the way home.
He could troubleshoot these problem in his
sleep.
inadvertant release is very uncommon.0 -
Ummmm- I DO recall seeing a sign on the VA Beach Expressway- "Speed Controlled by Aircraft".......[:p] 0 -
IR not impossible. Especially if the system is still armed and all ordinance not expended.
We had an inadvertant release in the UK one time. They shacked a cow with a BDU-33! Strike footage showed the cow all lined up. Pilot forgot to turn Master Arm & Release switch off when they cleared Spadeadam range. WSO pickled playing around and bomb jettisoned as commanded.[:0] It cost the USAF 5000 quid for that damn cow!0 -
Bet they didn't have to grind that Hamburger! 0
