a little duct tape should fix the problem

Bonus Points to the Genius that STILL installed the Inlet Cover on the Engine.

Damn I love Hercs. They are tough as nails. Always brought me home safe.

The prop to that plane was found in the mid 1990's I helped load it onto to the USCGC IRONWOOD in dutch harbor. It was found in the nets of a fishing boat.

i hate it when the engineers gave their explanation about the why and how . they should have designed sensors to monitor over temp exposure,and warn pilots before.and on;t tell me its hard,i know its not hard.not for an expensive system like a plane

Brings back memories, the first shot was what I saw when I stepped off the plane 3/4's of the way down the runway at Cold Bay. Was stationed at Attu and was heading home for my mid tour break. Thanks for posting...

Wish we had some indication of what was going to take place. Unfortunantly it was not to be. One second she is running great, the next second... we are dealing with a propless motor

Actually, The Main Drive Gear Cracked and a large piece broke out causing the Gear to jam up and Explode the front half of the gearbox. The reason for the Gear failure was that it had been exposed to high heat from a previous Gearbox install that had a pinion bearing failure. :0)
