SHAW AIR FORCE BASE, S.C. -- An F-16 is submerged in foam after the fire surpression system in Hangar 1200 was activated Jan. 17. The quick response from Shaw's Airmen resulted in minimal damage to Air Force assets. (U.S. Air Force photo/SrA Matthew Davis)

To whom it may concern,

I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Thank you for you patience.

 

 

Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

Boy that would be fun to run through

 

Not at all, not normal foam. Some it actually smells very bad, like rotten eggs.

A single engine airplane had to belly land in a wheat pasture a few miles from my home yesterday. I stopped by this afternoon to take a few pictures.

"No, I insist that my non-stop flight stop somewhere. Preferably at an airport. Its those sudden cornfield/housing development stops I dont care for.

At ANY moment, Hajduk and GGTharos will begin arguing about SAMs...!

And RIPTIDE will post a relevant troll face, captioned suitably.

 

But before anyone sees it, a mod will remove it.

US Army chopper accidentally drops missile

 

A United States Army Apache helicopter accidentally dropped an inactive missile over central Texas on Tuesday, forcing dozens of homes to be evacuated.

 

No-one was injured in the incident, in which residents in Killeen told police they saw an object falling from an AH-64 attack helicopter into a field.

 

An explosive disposal team found an inert M36 missile, a dummy version of a Hellfire missile used for training, officials said.

 

"The M36 is an inert training device without a warhead or propulsion system and is designed to enable crews to simulate Hellfire missile engagements in the cockpit without launching from the aircraft," the statement said.

 

The dummy missile, just like a real Hellfire weapon, weighs about 45 kilograms and is 163 centimetres long.

 

Reports are pretty much all the same, from AFP.
