Incomming

It was in iraq My boss said it was a missle that hit the engine. But in all my infinite unwisdom of weapons that the airforce has taught me..... i think perhaps, if our plane's engine actually got hit by a missle directly....the plane would likely be minus a wing if not more.But the plane was aparently flying and then landed safely at an airfield near by.

I later found out it was an RPG. I would like to take the time now to thank the russians for their crappy munitions, because it didn't go off.

It did put a hole thru the engine....from one side straight thru to the other.Like a huge azz bullet would. Some electrical wires were severed and shorted, and started a fire. The heat cause the skin to warpseverely and we will have to change the motor and probably one time flight itto a location capable of the major repairs.

So there is a reason we do the combat approaches and it is not just to get the soldiers to throwup. Sorry about that guys.
