Looks kind of like perspective...but we've had pilots do worse. Some pilots just like hot dogging their C-130s....trust me we keep have to replace turbines because they run the engines so close to the threshold that the turbine bearings wear out really quickly. As in every HSC and ISO we are having to replace at least 2 engines

Yeah, I always dreaded the inspections of my helicopters because I knew everytime they'd find something one of my pilots did to gently caress it up and yell at me for 'letting it happen' despite the fact that I was a Lance Corporal flying in the XO's bird.

Even my older brother was one of those pilots who would break poo poo. He once bent the hell out of a T-45A's wing when he was at the bombing range and forgot to check if the ~200 lb training bombs had released and proceeded to do a max G egress.

Pilots man, fuckin pilots.
