Oooooh the irony!
My dad was the C-130 guy in the 60s through the 80s. Told me many stories about fuel cell mishaps. He was an engine and prop guy for Lockheed around the world. May have trained or worked with some of you older guys.IIRC, there was a ton of, let's call it, cause and effect going on in that "mishap."
First mistake was doing the job with other aircraft close by. No way to cordon off the area down wind.
Second, was not properly depuddling and purging the tank.
Third was using equipment that wasn't explosion proof.
It just got much, much worse from there.
I also remember a couple of guys dying on C-130s because they failed to follow the most basic safety procedures.
That shit didn't fly with me. I don't care how fast you want it fixed, we're not skipping crucial safety steps.
I never liked working in-tank maintenance when adjacent tanks had fuel in them.
Fortunately, you couldn't do that on the B-1B because of system design.
She ain’t doing anything long term but eating.
Was your dad a black guy? I got my certifications of 130 props from a really smart guy (black) but I can’t remember his name….My dad was the C-130 guy in the 60s through the 80s.

Is she is looking for a guy longer than her fingers?
how, does she wipe he own ass, with those hamlegs for arms?
You might want to check the pronouns on that person….Is she is looking for a guy longer than her fingers?
Incorrect pronouns.
Yes, your memory is accurate on the troop holding the cb in.It's so easy to ohm out a pump before going to all of that other work.
Now that you refreshed my memory on that one, didn't the 7-level actually hold the CB in to prevent it from tripping?
Power should have never been applied to an aircraft with an open fuel tank...
There's danger tags, disconnected batteries and even external power receptacle that would have/should have been tagged.
Big, big, big fuckup.
Nope. All Honky.Was your dad a black guy? I got my certifications of 130 props from a really smart guy (black) but I can’t remember his name….

One of my last -141 missions was ferrying an A-10 squadron to Aviano during the Bosnia thing. We landed in Windsor Locks CT and doing the walkaround there was just a crap ton of fuel streaming down the fuselage from leading and trailing edge of wing from under the sail panels. This was an aircraft with 44k flight hours and with the wing box tcto weight limits.
Total hazmat incident...
Anyway, a Tiger team came up from McGuire and worked all night on the problem. Put back together and sign it off "no defect noted".
We flew another 50 hours of international flight without a repeat. I was never so nervous about flying in all my life. My mind always flashed back to my dad's stories (a B-24 pilot) about B-24's just blowing up on take off.
Women have the pussy. Pussy rulesThis is what wrong with the US, this constant joking that the wife it the boss and simp pussy men letting it happen.
Hamlegs added to vocabulary as of today!how, does she wipe he own ass, with those hamlegs for arms?
The jokes on you bitch, I don’t have a soul!
You are so jealous that I’m banging your grandma, mom, sister and dog.Grandma bought @Dirty D a new chair. Once he sat in it he refuses to leave. It's a good thing it's self lubricating.

The only one that bothers me is my dog. He just doesn't know any better.You are so jealous that I’m banging your grandma, mom, sister and dog.
I was the hybrid certified tech at my automotive dealership. Everyone else thought lock out/ tag out was a joke. Anyway, I'm still alive.I didn't go in until 84.
In the AF, engines and Fuel Cell were completely different careers. I think the navy combines them.
In fact, engines was also broken down into prop and turbo fan.
Different shredout.
I wouldn't have met your Dad.
The stories are the reason why we had very stringent rules for working on the fuel system and even more stringent rules for open tank maintenance.
You wouldn't believe the number of people that thought we were overly cautious.
You remember what units you were dragging across?One of my last -141 missions was ferrying an A-10 squadron to Aviano during the Bosnia thing.
