Panther Senior Member Registered: 07/10/05 Posts: 4179 Loc: Nellis AFB, NV	Ok so I know the pilot is safe, and say this in the most sincere manner possible. Please let the aircraft be the POS one that has always caused problems. _________________________ Virtual Thunderbirds, LLC \| Sponsored by Thrustmaster i7 950 \| GA-X58A-UD3R \| 8GB Corsair DDR3 \| EVGA GTX 460 SLI 1GB \| SanDisk 120GB \| VelociRaptor 600GB \| Win 7 64bit \| TIR5 \| TM HOTAS Warthog #01629 \| TM MFD Cougar Pack \| CH Pro Pedals \| Fanatec CSW w/ Formula Rim & CSPv2 \| Obutto R3Volution \| The Black Max \| 40" Sharp LCD

IamFritz Member Registered: 08/10/04 Posts: 622	There are stories about certain F-15s in the USAF's inventory that either never functioned properly off the factory floor or got bent in use at squadrons, but their damages were never quite within the regs to retire them so they remained in use. Panther's referring to the infamous one at Nellis. _________________________ Fritz Gunter iamfritz@hotmail.com http://www.iamfritz.com <- visit my site for cool military aviation stuff and more!

Panther Senior Member Registered: 07/10/05 Posts: 4179 Loc: Nellis AFB, NV	Sad news it wasn't our 'Christine'... damnit. Oh well, very thankful the pilot ejected out. Breaks the string of fatal crashes we have had here at Nellis. _________________________ Virtual Thunderbirds, LLC \| Sponsored by Thrustmaster i7 950 \| GA-X58A-UD3R \| 8GB Corsair DDR3 \| EVGA GTX 460 SLI 1GB \| SanDisk 120GB \| VelociRaptor 600GB \| Win 7 64bit \| TIR5 \| TM HOTAS Warthog #01629 \| TM MFD Cougar Pack \| CH Pro Pedals \| Fanatec CSW w/ Formula Rim & CSPv2 \| Obutto R3Volution \| The Black Max \| 40" Sharp LCD

shan2 Hotshot Registered: 07/22/02 Posts: 9472 Loc: Maryland, USA	Panther, if you want, I can send an ex-Army buddy of mine who singlehandedly destroyed more M1 Abrams tanks than the entire Iraqi army during Desert Storm to take care of your problem. (A base in Western Germany wanted new M1A2 Abrams tanks and hilarity ensued...) _________________________ You're only young once, but you can be immature forever.

I've only heard about it in the past from those who are active-duty. Sounds like car ownership; at some point it's more expensive to maintain the old one than to buy a new. Also, "state of disrepair" isn't something that should ever be used to describe an active aircraft... _________________________ My Rig:AMD Phenom X4 955 Black Edition OCed@4.0 GHz/GIGABYTE GA-890FXA-UD5 AM3 AMD 890FX Mobo\ MSi AMD 6950 2GB \ 8 Gigs of G.skills Ram\Storage: OCZ SSD 240GB/ Bunch of HDDs\All held together by: Coolermaster HAF 932 case Other Assets Deployed: HOTAS: Logitech G940 CH FighterStick/Pro-Throttle/Throttle Quad/Saitek Combat Rudder Pedals TrackIR Simpit: ETA Q2 2013 Wheel: ETA Q4 2013
