HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE, New Mexico (AP) -- The Air Force has grounded a fighter pilot who accidentally dropped three BDU-33 inert steel dummy bombs, including one that fell on a house. No one was injured
The pilot did not know his F-117A stealth fighter was carrying the 25-pound practice bombs as he targeted trash bins and other structures during a training exercise Tuesday, the pilot's wing commander said. He is suspended pending an investigation.
"This is not the way we do business, and we're very disappointed it happened," Brig. Gen. Marc Rogers, 49th Fighter Wing commander at Holloman Air Force Base said. The F-117A Nighthawk stealth pilot who dropped the dummy bomb was the first one aware something was amiss and missing from his jet, said Rogers. "He took some noble actions. He immediately took the film (videotape), ran to his commander and said I think something came off my airplane," Rogers said.

RAAF Macchi MB326 just airborne for a trip to the range when a BDU-33 just "fell off" immediately after take-off. Bounced off the road into the scrub with a puff...
Shortly after mini-gun on Macchi let a round or two go across the runway from the revetments. The groundie who turned the barrels got a fright!!!

Some years ago (circa 1992) a Jaguar dropped a live 1000 lb bomb on a Scottish island. The pilot was supposed to be aiming at Garvey but the weapon went somewhere else!

He probably didn't know he was sitting on his elbow, either.

The Kiwi Airforce once put a rocket or 2 into the green of the golf course adjacent to the range at Asahan and I also have a photo taken at one of the observation posts showing a 20MM size hole in the mounting post for the measuring thingy to show where it should really have landed.
