F-15 Mishap Simulation

[zackhanscom]

he shat his pants

[Basie369]

Michael Bay killed Starscream 

[RenzoMonster]

Yikes! I guess when your number comes up there's nothing you can do.

[diveplane]

fighter airframes do take a beating

[clank400]

haha that looks funny

[subzyro5]

@clank400 you think it looks funny to see someone die on a plane?

[haz159]

what game is this

[brw147]

it's not a game. it's a simulation done by Boeing

[dixonblog]

That's not flying, that's falling with style

[Tarapatintirintintin]

hahahahahahahhahahahahhahahaha­hah

[michaelsnakee]

thats funny lol if real not funny i wud crap myself

[crewdogg15]

Phase fucked up on that

[normanmj]

@crewdogg15

Nope. This was in a area that a typical phase crew would not inspect. Try again.

[crewdogg15]

I Know, I worked phase for 3 years. Not carded but haven't you ever failed for non carded items?

[normanmj]

I wasn't a crew chief or sheetmetal, so I couldn't answer that. I don't even think a visual would have caught that and only NDI would catch the damage? I was stationed at Langley for 5 years and have been at a depot for the last 7.

[crewdogg15]

Warner robins is the F-15 depot

[normanmj]

Yes, I know. I'm in a different ALC then Robins.

[DarkPhotog]

I bet the pilot pissed his pants.

[nayte1]

That's some serious shit. The pilot was lucky only to break his leg.

[MilitaryAirChannel]

He broke his arm and fucked up his shoulder too!

[rexregum]

well when you plane falls apart around you it's pretty fortunate to escape just like that... that was hardly an optimal ejection condition with your cockpit spinning around like that.

[jtw1214]

Thats A sweet Plane

[RyanRiopel]

not anymore

[fender321]

Lol, it looks so funny when the cockpit breaks away!

[Familyguy098]

dude that whole situation probebly lasted half a second. the simulation is in slo mo.

[Chubachus]

looks like a fun ride

[5687678]

If you pull enough g with very high speed that would happen to any aircraft.

[xlegionx]

IRON!

[t4o2dc]

this shit is fake

[324190]

its a SIMULATION, of course its fake.

[uscgswimmers]

you're fucking stupid

[Marshall1147]

Wasn't there one more eagle in this incident? I believe it was passing-by right next to the crashed one...

[angelcar22]

Bad manufacturing on Boeing's part.

And they still whine they didn't get the KC-45 contract.

bah

[chaingang90]

not bad manufacturing,,, the aircraft is old,,,

[angelcar22]

no, it was a bad manufacturing practice that lead the longerons to fatigue before their designed life expectancy.

look it up

[angelcar22]

Um... it's a S I M U L A T I O N

By definition it is "fake," as in not real footage. Nevertheless, it's a CG representation of what happened to the airplane.

[arnaage]

I'm almost certain the F-15s are already past there design life.

[angelcar22]

They're not

That was the problem precisely. Due to the incorrect manufacturing the longerons in question here didn't last as long as they were designed to last.

[refused215]

happened last year and all the f-15s in the af were grounded

[PashMaster01]

Still grounded aren't they? :(

Well, at least the other variants like the Strike Eagle are still OK.

[Lgilsig]

Kinda looks like some of the F-15's are at the end of their service lives (stating the obvious). I'm guessing these are the F-15A's, and some C's that are remanufactured A'S.

[soflaav8r]

Holy Crap!
