A330 AAR Boom Goes AWOL
It would appear a boom has fallen of MRTT this week
Airbus Military investigates A330 in-flight boom detachment NFF:ooh: |
I wonder if it managed to be A Sonic Boom as it whistled past.... :E
I'll get my coat.. |
Nutloose, you old rogue. (sp?)
|
I thought they were hose and drogue equipped. They don't look like booms to me.
|
You would have thought Flight could have made a bit more of an effort with their illustration.

It's a UAE aircraft, as in the incident, and you can that it has a boom. What's wrong with that?

boom boom boom boom boom boom, an homage to messr Bald Rick :E and his definitive work - the german guns!
if the boom does fall in the forest and there is no-one to hear it, does it make a sound? |
And after the first boom boom I thought you were going to say Basil Brush.
|
I guess sales of the MRTT will be booming in light of this :=:sad::ok:
It be boom time soon :) |
It's like a John Lee Hooker tribute hereabouts.
|
Any former boomers in the crew?
|
ANOTHER A330MRTT boom detachment :eek: ???
To misquote Oscar Wilde: "To lose one boom, Seņor Airbus, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose another looks like carelessness." |
It was not lost, just temporarily misplaced!

hoodie - I must admit I didn't see the boom either when I looked at the pic - I suppose that the concept of a tanker fitted with both systems is pretty unusual, and as the hoses were deployed I didn't noticed the boom tucked away. Does this version have a centreline hose on a(n) HDU as well? Looks as though it has from the pic.
Could have been worse - Spain has had scarier bits of military hardware dropped on it in the past 1966 Palomares B-52 crash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
Looks as though our procurers made a sound, and fortunate, decision in going for drogues only.

I thought Gordon Brown announced an end to busted booms
. . . . . or was it boom and bust . . . . . I'll get my coat |
when was the last time you heard of a boom "falling" off a Boeing KC-97, KC-135 or KC-10 now? If it ain't Boeing, I'm not going...:ok:
|
How did this one come off, all on it's own?
|
Maybe it was on a promise, having heard someone singing "Boom boom boom, let's go back to my room..."
