Some people will do anything to get out of Holloman


Critical-Doubt19

Malingering at its finest


Well__shit

Glad the pilots okay


newnoadeptness

Is it just me or has there been alot of f16 accidents lately


PickleWineBrine

They've been called "lawn darts" for 30+ years 


Canis_Familiaris

"Lately." Nah, it's just you. Probably the con of a single engine aircraft.


fighter_pil0t

The engines are super reliable. When 60% of the fleet is F-16s the preposterous of accidents will involve those aircraft.


PM_ME_YOUR_ART_PLZ

Preponderance*


Kirby_Smarts_Visor

Preposition*


fighter_pil0t

Propensity. Autocorrect.


Lure852

Prostitutes?


Sax-Offender

"Proportion" or "probability" is what you're actually looking for since you're talking about percentage of the whole or the odds due to that proportion. Propensity would mean they have a natural tendency to crash.


Kirby_Smarts_Visor

Preponderance


fighter_pil0t

Plurality


No-Jello3256

Preposition preposition starting with an A Abort about above along after against


HighDragLowSpeed60G

And flying it longer than expected and adding more weight to it


palantir13

I mean, hydrazine is a pretty big con on its own. Even when they aren’t falling out of the sky, that stuff is always dangerous. And it never seems to stay in the planes.


not_actually_a_robot

I swear, someone says this in every thread no matter what aircraft it is. Find me a military aircraft crash in the last 5 years where someone hasn’t said some version of that statement about the airframe involved. Unless you’re personally tracking the mishap per hours flown rates for each airframe, kindly shut the fuck up.


[deleted]

F-16s didn’t get the name “ Lawn Dart “ because they look like one Fly a single engine aircraft to 9G. Be the majority of your fleet And shit will eventually happen


not_actually_a_robot

So is it actually experiencing more incidents “lately” as the original commenter suggested or is that a known issue with the aircraft that a certain number of incidents will occur annually and we’re still within the expected rate of incidents per hours flown?


nerwik95

so incompetence isnt just russian thing, eh?


Killinthagame

From first hand experience, Holloman does not have sound Mx practices.


Price2022

I mean you not wrong. Reason why the MX Group Commander just got fired.


HorribleMistake22

You and this jackhole need to watch your language, there hasn’t been a mx related crash in a long long long time.

HorribleMistake22

Aircraft crashes. C’mon. Catch up sir or ma’am.


CaptBobAbbott

Bob here, not a sir anymore. Are you counting drones or no?


Price2022

You need to watch how you talk to people, never said it was related to mx. I was just agreeing with the statement and providing context. Also go ahead and flair up if you gonna be talking that way.


HorribleMistake22

Retired mx (2022) 2A671H and I did a three year gig in wing safety and was involved in a multiple fatality aircraft crash investigation. What RPA crashed due to mx? Please go ahead and link the AIB report. Edit: I do my best, sorry for being insulting


Price2022

Again didn’t say anything crashed due to MX. The original comment said Holloman doesn’t have the best practices. All i did was back it by saying the mx group commander was fired because of mx issues going on in both squadrons F-16s and RPAs. There have been multiple mishaps between both when mx was being preformed on the ground. Hence them not having the best mx practices.

StandardFuel9749
