This happened back in 1999 at Eglin AFB Florida. A Security Forces car drove under a parked F-15. Word about this got passed around to all troops working on flightlines the day after it happened.

Apparently there where two SPs(military police) in the car and the passenger fell ill so the driver started heading back to post.Along the way their hand held radio fell under the car seat and they reached down to grab it taking their eyes away from driving and veered into the path of the parked F-15 which stopped the car as you can see.

One crew chief had to jump clear of the cars path. The plane was fully loaded with fuel at the time and such was the weight and damage to the car they had to use the jaws of life to get the two SPs out.The typical flight line driving speed on any DOD base is 10 MPH.I wonder should the F-15 get one Chevy Lumina added to its kill list? The driver was female by the way proving the old adage about female drivers.

Damage to the F-15 was minor but as you can see goodbye 13,000 dollar car and about that much in repairs to the F-15.The SP driving the car had to pay remunerations over time of course.The Department of Defense expects remuneration to be payed by the guilty party when negligence is the cause of damages.

I had a breaker bar once actually break while I was trying to loosen a pesky bolt they tried to make me pay for it. I said no dice I was applying force in the correct direction proper tool use.They dropped it gald they did because would not have payed a dime.Air Force rivet counters are the ones that hell refused. Another friend that did airframe inspections a B-1B crashed that he had done x-rays on its turbines they where looking to lay the blame on him.Turned out that the pilot buzzed a corn field in North Dakota and sucked up some cobs.

In the Lumina case I think an Article 15 would have been justified why pay someone with tax dollars and then make them pay for something that tax dollars are going to pay for anyway? Ah, but I don't work for the government.

Rivet counters is what I, as a CE troop, used to call SP's. Cause all they seemed to do was stand around, or sit in their crown vic, with nothing to do but count rivets in aircraft.

Some of the SPs would try to pay me to alert them when the NCOs and officers where on the prowl so they would not get caught sleeping on duty.

Every time one of those charter planes with the nice flight attendants came up the taxiway then all the SPs show up other wise they just sat there.

I had bean counters in my mind for some reason.In that case it was rivet counters getting hit up by bean counters.I bet that SP is still paying for that some E-9 or something way to make a career.

Despite that napping, you'd be amazed how fast they react when someone crosses the red line. It's like a pack of dogs on a 3 legged cat, and they ALL want to get in on the action.

I wasn't there, but It made it's rounds through the squadron. A guy had to do some maintaince on one of those sheds out along the flight line. I'm not sure what the deal was, forgot to radio in i guess, or didn't go through a checkpoint. So nevermind the flight line badge pined on his shirt pocket, he found himself spread eagle kissing his truck hood with five M-16's pointed at his head.

Figures at my last duty assignment, i ended up in zone 1. Which is the flight line and all the restricted area's around it. I never got jacked, but it was never a dull moment unless doing a lap around perimeter road to kill time.

Which is why you have to have a higher ASVAB score in the Air Force.

Personally, I counted things like nails, bolts, wielding rods, lumber, steel, and TDY's.
