    i liked the dod loads ,as they were always light--guess they only wanted a small explosion if something happened
    couple loads went directly onto hercs going to aphganistan--and a few got unloaded at a live fire range--was really hoping everybody had paid attention in aiming class

    I seem to recall a couple of years back that a guy drove out onto a live bombing range out in new mexico by accident and got his truck shredded.

    I heard about that too, that is funny. Little oppsies in the gps system.

    I think it was a different place though, I do remember the plane that shot the truck up was an F-16, the funny part is the driver of the truck got out with out a scratch on him, well other than needing new underwear and a hose! lol

    Speaking of airplanes, I once carried an entire jet fighter on a skateboard. Wings and all. And no, it wasn't a carrier plane with folding wings or whatever...

    How, you ask?

    It had been sawn lengthwise into strips by parallel bandsaw blades, like a loaf of bread. lol

    Titanium gets recycled, apparently.

    The fun bit? The cut edges were as jagged and sharp as saw blades themselves. I remember wishing I had a pair of those chain mail gloves that meat cutters use.
