We had a F-117 bomb West Texas last year. He bombed a interstate dumpster

&
somebody's bathroom before he found out he was dropping practice bombs.

He
claimed he didn't know the jet was loaded with them, which may be true.

The
investigation revealed he was running late, missed most of his pre-flight
briefing, his jet crapped out & switched planes at the last minute and
didn't pre-flight it.

F**king Idiots like that get people killed!!!! Who the hell is training
these turds anyway?

Maybe one of those overworked guys.

Dangerous play makes for dangerous accidents...you should get to read
the yearly "TFOA" reports - "Things Falling Off Aircraft".

I used to read the weekly Navy TFOA report. I couldn't believe how many
antennas fell off aircraft.

An item on the BBC news..............

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/suffolk/3389957.stm

An F-15E from Lakenheath dropped a BDU-33 25lb practice bomb - and made
an 18 in crater.

Is this what they mean by 'Ground Attack' ??

But didn't Yorkshire oppose President Bush's appeal for coalition support
to attack Iraq?

No, wait, that was France.

But didn't Yorkshire sell night-vision equipment to the-- no, no, that was
Russia.

Well, it was really cold and windy last time I was in Yorkshire, so there.
