That happened twice during the years I worked the B-1B.
Tail number 85-0084. Had a bad aft fuel tank fuel fill valve.

We transferred fuel forward until the nose came back down and ran the CG way forward. Defueled the aircraft and replaced the part.
The fill valve diaphragm got a hole in it and fuel siphoned aft until it sat on its tail.
Easy fix, but a shit ton of hours to prep it.

NDI showed no damage to the structure, just minor damage to the tail cone.
Towed decoy system wasn't in use when that happened.
No damage other than the tail cone.

Takes longer to get the cone on the stand for replacement than the actual job does.

The key to refueling properly is IF the crew chiefs do their primary and secondary checks on the float valve solenoids.

Two solenoids, two windings per solenoid. Lots of redundancy.

Continuous fuel flow into any tank with the switch in one of the four test positions shows a problem.
I can guarantee that the checks weren't done. It takes two minutes to check and this would have been caught before it happened.

Pure fucking laziness.

This is why we always said, "I'd rather have a sister in a whore house than a crew chief brother.":ROFLMAO:

Other than your brain, the trigger guard seems to be the most important safety feature built into a gun. Pretty much standard on every gun made since the started making guns.

?

Except the ones that people kept shooting their dicks off with...

7087971

Remington


7087972


S&W

7087973

Colt

7087974


And more... assortment of spur trigger revolvers.


7087975


Then the Fitzgerald Specials which were all the rage with some of the FBI guys back in the '50s...


And my personal favorite... the Welrod....

7087979


So lots of guns went without trigger guards... even after the dawn of gun time.

Then again, to the OP's point... lots of people probably shot their dicks off with them!

Ah ha hs haha hah aha ha ha hah ha ha ha!

Cheers,

Got an address for Cthulhu and the city of R'lyeh? Getting hungry after reading that menu.....

Somewhere between Alpha Centauri and Sacramento there's a small, out-of-the-way gas station. There's the signpost up ahead: "Welcome to Cthulhu Mythos."

P.S. If you were stationed in the Pacific in the early '80s you should get the reference.

Harry Harrington is 6’7″ and weighs over 300 lbs. He’s a notorious gay sex predator who has served time in jail for numerous sexual assaults. An aggressive and predatory offender, he’s not the kind of man you want to annoy. But that’s just what Garfield Morgan, 54, and his 36 year old accomplice friend Kim Gorton did when they broke into his home.

Harrington, known as ‘The Wolfman‘, easily overpowered the men, tied them up and assaulted them for five full days. Police only intervened after a neighbor heard the men’s cries for help and called them.
