Sorry for the off-topic post, but I seem to remember seeing a link to a picture of a military transport plane that had been pressure tested to failure.

IIRC this was caused by an inattentive ground support person that didn't have a limit pin on their pressure gauge and didn't see the needle pass 0 more than once.:eek:

If anyone has a link or info on this, I'd really appreciate it if you would email or PM me.

Thanks in advance!

I'll try to find it, I seem to remember that it was a KC-10 or -135 air force bird, have to thumb through old aviation safety mags. Might look for the Naval Safety Center's website too.

It was a KC-135R

With the newer CFM-56 turbofans. It's in my flight safety magazine in the squadron, but I'm not going in until next Wednesday, otherwise I'd grab and scan it in for you, PropellerHead.
