Yeah. I wouldn't expect with a missle to the wing that it would matter much whether or not your aircraft had any HYD check valves or not. I was thinking more if the CF6-50C2 threw a fan disc or came apart inflight. FWIW, the old A300-B4 is not a 3rd or 4th generation aircraft.
Also, cartwheel was a poor choice of words on my part. You're correct. It DID NOT cartwheel. However, it did roll and tumble upside down as it broke up. That's as close to cartwheel as damn is to swearing, I'd say. Is there a suitable word between tumble and cartwheel? (please don't say 'and'?)
Cartwheel or tumble, no matter what generation you're in a cartwheel or tumble is going to ruin your day, no matter how you slice it.
