Gear down?

This can be described as one of those ’Moments’ …     

Landing on runway 31 at Diego Garcia, skidding 7,500 feet down the runway.

The aircraft was landing at the end of an 11 hour ferry mission that started at
Andersen AFB , Guam . During the landing, the B-1B caught fire and emergency
Crews extinguished the flames. The four-person aircrew escaped from the plane
Through the overhead escape hatch. The aircraft was finally removed from the
Runway 4 days later.

The Air Force Accident Investigation concluded the pilots forgot to lower the
Landing gear.
The USAF estimated the damage to the B-1B at $7.9 million, and the damage
To the runway at $14,025. RBRM and those old SEABEES made one tough
Runway, that ’ s for sure!

Forwarded to those of you who have never seen a $285,000,000.00 bomber on the deck,
Here she is:

Self Programing

Funny how we can program ourselves to do certain things without conscious thought. I have had about 4 hour sleep in the last 36 hours. I decided to walk 3 miles around the parade field. Put on my Karate warmup playlist that I use to get into “the zone” for various events. It’s a mix of metal, classic rock, techno, and dance music. I was dragging my butt around the field when about three quarters into the distance I noticed that I was walking through my blocks,chops and strikes without even thinking about it. No wonder i was getting some strange looks 😊 off to bed hopefully I get some good sleep time
