This is what happens when an A-10 30MM cannon goes all "Fuck you" on itself. I was lucky enough to take it apart while trying not to get blown up....

Yikes!
Quite a coincidence. My last gf use to take something that looked exactly like one of those shells and go all "fuck you" on herself.
YES! I was just talking about these guns this week. They are fucking awesome (well not for you it seems)
Do you have any anecdotes?

Oh don't get me wrong I fucking LOVE these guns/jets
Hmmm we once had a pilot jettison 2x 500lb bombs just north of the Las Vegas Speedway because he thought his engines went out.. bad part, he thought he dropped them not armed...well yeah not so much, no one died.... I got my hand sucked up in the belly tray under the drum... luckily I told them to stop before any permanent damage was done
Hahahaha. I had my pilot accidentally dump all his flares one time while taxiing
At KAF
Haha.
Also had a pilot, on his flight into KAF, first landing smash the jet into the runway and collapsed the undercarriage because he wasn't used to flying a loaded plane and came in steep as fuck

Back when I was on F-16s we got stationed over in Kuwait 3 months after 9-11. We would be at the end of runway watching the jets take off in the a.m and as soon as they would touch off they would be punching flares. Comes to find out I went and visited the Army and their SAMs... they were getting pissed at all the noise and would target the jets just to fuck with the pilots.
interesting stuff. whats the back story on this fett? are you a pilot in the air force?
^^^ I am a weapons loader, I load the bombs,missiles and bullets. Hit 20 years next March. 9 years on F-16s, 5 years on F-15s, going on 4 years A-10s
You're a very interesting individual. Did you start this job the day The Notorious BIG was murdered?(March 9th)?
LoL yeah man thanksyou get that just RAVE shirt? Had it done, just forgot to send it
It's my new gym shirt... all the young kids think I'm cool and hip
Nope but I did show up to my first duty station(Vegas) 2 weeks after Tupac got merked.... My sponsor drove me to the area that was by then a memorial
Here's me 3 months after 9-11 doin' what I do
After the 11 September 2001 attacks, the 18th FS was called to generate eight aircraft for Alaska NORAD air defense during Operation NOBLE EAGLE, though the aircraft never had to launch.
The squadron's next deployment was to Al Jaber AB, Kuwait, December 2001 – March 2002 to support simultaneous combat operations for Operations SOUTHERN WATCH and ENDURING FREEDOM. They flew more than 3,200 hours in only 3 months, an amazing feat for the 142 Blue Foxes who deployed with only 10 aircraft. During that time, the 18th FS flew missions in support of Operation ANACONDA, including one in the Shah-I-Kot valley on 2 March when U.S. forces, engaged in a firefight with Taliban and Al Qaeda forces, called for aerial assistance. A number of Blue Foxes responded, dropping bombs with pinpoint accuracy on the opposing forces. Capt Jim Sears and Capt Andy Lipina, 18 FS pilots, received Distinguished Flying Crosses for their efforts. Lt. Col. Burt Bartley, the 18 FS commander at the time, received the Silver Star for strafing and dropping 500 lbs Laser Guided Bombs on what would later be known as "The Battle for Roberts Ridge."

damn thats intense. good stuff. Now thats a job where you can't start your day off sleepy.

LoL your pic reminded me of something. Our old chief wanted pictures of everyone in the Unit so she could recognize faces. She wanted a good picture along with a bio... kinda silly I thought so I asked what kind of picture would be exceptable, she said any kind so I whipped this up.....
Thats funny shit
the world cried that day, it felt like end of civilization as we know it, could have gone either way into chaos apocalypse, but people after a time began to reflect & realised this isn't what Tupac would have wanted, he wanted a better way, peace, love, he set the pathway for the rest of us to follow.Nope but I did show up to my first duty station(Vegas) 2 weeks after Tupac got merked....
