tinyclark Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 You would think the wings would have been easy enough to get off and save. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lownslow Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Seems like it will be pretty hard to do a proper investigation of what caused the alleged four engine roll back when you blow up the airplane and cart it away. Engines, fluid samples and LRUs are only going to tell you so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puredrenalin Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I did notice that the engines were not feathered, so maybe the 4 engine roll back thing is correct....although havent heard of that in a few years, not since the 3 or 4 Talons did that!!!

Guest Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Props wouldn\'t have feathered all the way. As soon as it touched down they probably caged the engines, killing all the generators below 365Hz, in turn killing Ess AC bus, in turn the aux feather motor. If the APU was on, I don\'t think it would have survived. Just speculation though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC130FE Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 The final report is out as of 03 Oct 08. Without getting into too much of it, the primary cause was the MP snatched the throttles back too fast and flamed out three of the four motors while reacting to MWS warning. According to the report #2 engine continued to run all the way to landing. There was never any attempt to relight or feather any of the non-functioning engines. APU was not running. From flameout to touchdown was 57 seconds. I thought the pilot did a great job of landing the plane once he decided that was the only option. It\'s a good, thorough report. You should check it out if you have access to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnlistedScotsman Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I was there when it went down. And they managed to salvage all the fluids and most other parts. The four engines where in decent condition, from my non pilot standpoint, they may not have worked but we did what we could to prep them for shipment. It went down outside the base lines, so CE and EoD didnt have much time to fully take it apart. The inside was smashed in..Which i noticed from a power point. no one was hurt, however, one of the members of the stryker team was KIA a few days after they responded to the site to retrieve the personnel inside, Sather Air Base, as well as Camp Liberty and Camp Victory suffered a great loss.
