Snipped from another forum...

First the F-117 dropped a BDU on a house in Texas, then the Strike Eagle dropped a BDU in the countryside of England.

Now it looks like an A-10 from the 111 FW (Pennsylvania Air Guard) dropped a BDU in the countryside that was close enough for a couple hikers to hear and find.

Fortunately for the pilot, it sounds like it was a system error and he is not at fault (unlike the previous accidents).

However, at least we aren't have the problems with scaring horses like they are having in the UK...one person has been killed after being thrown off a horse when a RAF helicopter went by, and they think a second person may have suffered the same fate...

Cheers! M2

You forgot the Viper that dropped the BDU on the golf course in Sun City, AZ a few years back.

I think that this is probably classified info but I will let the cat out against my better judgement. Those PA Hogs were actually trying to put a hit on George Steinbrenner. For political reasons they gave the mission to rookie pilots. They screwed it up and yes Steinbrenner continues to polute the earth with his pressence.

By this time tomorrow I shall have gained either a pearage or Westminster Abbey........Nelson
