I have been on just about every damn AF military aircraft. Same ,same. I have never ran a checklist Prior to take off, cruise or landing that said release bull****. Not even a switch. I’ve been on some crazy as airdrops, BUT never that ****. i have never been on Fire fighting AC. Maybe they do...
I have many, some I took and some my buddies that investigated it took. On of many such sites.
no one was hurt, lost an airframe and I did not have too fly to 29 stumps that day.
Oh but it does! Seen them blow. Maybe not like movies, but the blow.
when I was on. C17s, yes my call sign. We have an OBIGGS system that generates nitrogen for fire systems
This is a 141 from the 80 s that burned up next to me, we were getting ready for a two ship mission.
only thing left was part of gears, titanium core on engines and the Pet rocks we used to put in place of pallets to simulate loads
