If the IFR probe won't retract, what's the usual reason, and what other
effects will that failure have on other systems, specifically those
associated with landing. Got asked that on another forum. Relates to a
segment in this video:

Ignore the fact that the moron poster mistook this for AF stuff.

Never seen one that didn't but it was hydraulic/electrical. perhaps a
blown cb might cause it to stay out. Airspeed limits(350 kts??), need to
trim left rudder is all.

We had a F-124 come back with a basket stuck on the probe..when called
the ball'basketball', landed, pried it off.

Think the pilot had a new callsign-Zorro'...


I must plead ignorance, what is an F-124?
