The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".
no words to describe noo words at all. I do notknow what I would do if I were in those pilots spots. I would have probably have rolled her into the canal to be honest.
Southwest Airlines-"Once it pop's it's time to stop" Southwest Airlines-"Our Shamu's are almost real" Southwest Airlines -"We blow our top real easy" Southwest Airlines- "You can't top us..... really"
THese were A-10 pilots? Do we know when this occurred?
Sad to see, more disturbing t hear.
And I, I took the path less traveled by
and that has made all the difference......yet...
I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

It happened the second week of the war in 2003. The Pentagon cleared the pilots of any wrongdoing, but the Brits want to question them.
Reuters story
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
They tried to clear the targets as friend or foe several times and it sounds like the controller (AWACs probably) designated them as foe.
My sympathies to the soldiers killed and injured and the pilots.
"The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.' "
Ronald Reagan
Very sad. I agree with EMS. The pilots kept stating that they had orange tops, and seemed to be questioning the orders that they were foe. FUBAR.

Very sad listening to that. :( Reminds me of the Tarnak Farm incident where 4 Canadians were killed,and 8 injured almost 5 years ago now: http://archives.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/asia ... an.canada/

And they even wrote a book about it: http://www.amazon.com/Friendly-Fire-Can ... 0470836865
