You won't believe this one. This is another incident for Grandpa Pettibone in Naval Aviation News.

I am really interested to find out how this happened. You don't need a 90 foot rubber fuel hose, possibly with JP-5 in it, and a heavy probe attached, landing on your house.

Watch the skies, keep watching the skies.:eek:

I'll have to remember this when I come down to SD in November ...

Not a bad idea, and wear a hard hat while you are at it. I wouldn't worry much about C-130J tanker hoses. I'd worry about the whole aircraft coming down, that happens more often. :)
