P-3C Pulls 7G

Post by SMOC »

I haven't seen an actual story link anywhere but I have seen it posted on a few blogs and forums:

"For your SA we had an P-3 Class A today (not a mishap but by the
material condition of the aircraft they are calling it a class A).
Here's the preliminary info I have:

At Whidbey, BN 161331 was doing a FCF and shut down #1 engine, with #1
off, #2 engine exhibited vibrations and was shutdown. With two engines
off on the same side the aircraft stalled and was recovered at 100 feet.
7 G's were reported to pull it out of the stall. The aircraft landed
safely."
