My dad owns one of those old surplus M1's and I would have hated having to use one of those things all the time, never did figure out how to do it without loving your thumb up though I haven't shot it that much

We've got two of them and never had an issue with M1 thumb. On the other hand the lovely Greek surplus clips like to eject prematurely and fling unfired M2 ball all over the place, instead of firing till empty and going PING like God and Patton intended.

Color photo taken in the bombardier's station on a B-17 headed towards Germany. No info on it beyond that, but it looks cool as gently caress.

I GISed it. Apparently it was caused partially by human error, and grounded the fleet temporarily.quote:C-141B Starlifter transports have been cleared to return to service after the left wing on one airplane collapsed during refueling last Dec. 21, 2001 at Memphis (Tenn.) International Airport. The incident sparked the grounding of all 99 C-141Bs in U.S. Air Force inventory, but the limitation was removed Dec. 23 when an initial inspection by an engineering team from Warner Robbins Air Logistics Center in Georgia determined the failure was limited to that specific airplane. According to Col. Russ Cotney, commander of the Memphis-based Air National Guard's 164th Airlift Wing, the incident involved a "human factors error" during the repair of an integral fuel cell at the unit level. The aircraft had accumulated about 39,000 hr. of flying time and had undergone major depot inspection within the past two years. The Air Force has begun a formal investigation into the incident, which led to the spillage of 3,300 gal. of jet fuel and the slight injury of two airmen. The four-engine jet was being fueled for a flight to Ramstein AB, Germany, when the failure occurred. USAF is phasing out Starlifters from active service and replacing them with Boeing C-17s.

They were fueling, imagine if that thing got off the ground. Wing just falls off in flight and the crew gets thirty seconds to wonder what the gently caress just happened before augering in.

How does that even happen? Loaded up too heavily with fire retardant?

Nuclear Tourist posted:How does that even happen? Loaded up too heavily with fire retardant? Lots of high stress bombing cycles, lots of buffeting from fire updrafts adding more strain cycles, (I think heat from fire weakening the structure and further accelerating fatigue?), and it was probably a pretty old airframe near the end of its life when the AF got rid of it in the first place Captain Postal fucked around with this message at 23:12 on Oct 2, 2014 |

That's about the worst way to go in a plane, short of your entire seat getting punted free of the airframe completely. You know instantly there's no recovery and no way to escape. Just waiting it out.

For whatever reason I started getting really nervous about flying a few years ago and one of the things I kept telling myself was "Well, whatever happens at least the wings can't just fall off and drop this plane like a stone"

Lifecycles on civilian transports are a lot more predictable. There'll always be freak accidents, but you're literally more likely to get hurt driving to/from the airport than taking the drat plane.
