What happens next?

What happens next is that it carries on and ploughs into a line of parked aeroplanes sending debris everywhere.

I think the crash barrier trips the plane up and it ends up with the tail in the air,smashed props and the deck-hand on the right running for clean underwear

AndyN has it!!!

How did it get past two crash barriers?!?! Oops!

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #357 on:** August 07, 2008, 12:19:00 pm »

OK, what happened here?

andyn · « **Reply #358 on:** August 07, 2008, 12:57:50 pm »

I believe that was caused by stress, as the starlifters did have major wing stress problems, and was what they were eventually retired for.

Either that or something crashed / landed on it.

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #359 on:** August 07, 2008, 01:02:47 pm »

Nope! Although stress expatiated the cause... a more basic error was involved.

Pilot folded up the undercarriage?

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #361 on:** August 07, 2008, 08:01:05 pm »

Nope. A routine ground operation....

andyn · « **Reply #362 on:** August 07, 2008, 09:33:39 pm »

The plane on the right hit it

Just noticed the other wing

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #363 on:** August 07, 2008, 10:31:11 pm »

Naaa..... 61-2778 (cn 300-6004) Tennessee ANG. Aircraft was fueled with the vents to the fuel tanks plugged.
The wing over pressured and blew out. Damage compounded by wing root corrosion.

sparky, c141 has its landing gear located in sponsons on the fuselage, not folding into the wing

andyn · « **Reply #367 on:** August 08, 2008, 08:25:47 pm »

Ok then Martin

Got a better one, what happened here?

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #368 on:** August 08, 2008, 08:33:37 pm »

Don't challenge a bigger plane, with bigger props to the boarding gate?

chingdevil · « **Reply #369 on:** August 08, 2008, 09:03:26 pm »

Another plane nearby was having a test done on it engines when it started to roll forward and did that. Mythbusters tried that a while back and yes it is true thats what happens when a rotating prop hits another plane.
