    C-17 down

    Anchorage Daily News
    http://www.adn.com/2010/07/28/1385727/cargo-plane-reported-down-on-base.html



    I hate reading about the latest and greatest or most expensive going down. I was lucky to see some of these with hours in the single digits...brand spanking new in the 90s.

    made a kc135e seem like diarhea. :

    Condition of crew is unkown, a hint indicated they all deceased, four of them...

    the last crash at its location was while I was in service, it was an awacs jet sucking on geese. Crashes of similar planes raise flags for all of them, as the process goes.

    RIP if gone.

    Re: C-17 down

    This sounds eerily familiar, the Fairchild B-52 crash. I'm wondering if something similar happened. If that ball of flame is true, then deep in my gut I know what happened to that crew.

    Rest in peace, men..

      Today military transport planes have flight data & cockpit recorders, so they will be able to find out what happened

          definately aircrew pushing boundaries. It is a young plane, I wonder what this sacrifice immortalizes in the stunt book of things not to do.

          even the c130 went through these phases of growing. :

          as of now they are deceased, but no real integrity written.

              in english please? are you simply trying to say that they were practicing for an airshow and may have push the aircraft a little too far?
              what the hell does "no real integrity written" mean...

              does everything have to poetic ramblings? cant you just write in english so we can understand WTF you are talking about...
