OT, but Bob Smart will have something to say
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

That's going to be one hell of an insurance claim!

So did the wingy thing land on the car or did the car drive into it in the fog on a rather grey day??!

The car drove into the parked wingything , apparently in broad daylight

EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. (AP) -- An Air Force security man crashed his patrol car into a parked $39 million jet fighter while fumbling for his cell phone, totaling the car and damaging the plane, investigators say.

The Nov. 5 accident caused more than $62,000 in damage to the F-15's landing gear, according to an Air Force report released Wednesday. The report did not say how fast the car was going.

The driver, Airman Raymone Sydnor, was patrolling the flight line at this Florida Panhandle base when he dropped his personal phone and leaned down to search for it, investigators said.

Sydnor suffered a concussion. He received an undisclosed punishment.

As a result of the accident, the Air Force said, security personnel
have been ordered to get out of their cars every half-hour for a
10-minute break "to combat boredom and oxygenate blood flow."

Why doesn't it surprise me that a skycop did this? I think they required lower ASVAB scores than cooks did. At Langley they were generally prohibited from driving anywhere on the flightline except the Perimeter of the restricted area. They had to walk the area between the aircraft. _________________ Bob Smart ([email protected])
