gosquidgo 0 Posted September 14, 2009 When did that happen? That bird is one from my wife's old Wing. (552nd) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+ST0RM 145 Posted September 14, 2009 We had 4 crews out to Nellis for this Red Flag. One crew was on approach behind the Wacker when this happened. Apparently, the E-3 bounced on landing and the pilot forced the nose back down, landing on the nose gear first which obviously failed, and the rest of the jet came down. The force was so hard, they also pushed the main gear through the wings. There no injuries from the incident until the investigation. One of the crewmembers was in the safety office for their statement/report and a heavy wooden sign fell down and hit her on the head, knocking her down. I'm trying to find a high-res copy of this photo. We want to make it a motivational poster for our squadron bar. -S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Dave 2,318 Posted September 15, 2009 Yeah I talked to some of my CP controllers there. More details to come. Glad I wasnt there when this went down. I miss being in the 552nd to a point. This is not one of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
