Balls-13 Episode 132 of So There I Was


Nov 7, 2024 The Channel is: So There I Was

  • General Jay shares an intense aviation experience during Desert Storm.
  • While on a KC-135 mission, his aircraft suddenly rolled sharply left and right, resulting in the detachment of two engines.
  • The unexpected maneuver was later attributed to wake turbulence from another plane, which caused severe G-forces that sheared the bolts holding the engines.
  • Despite losing power on one side and handling significant challenges, including hydraulic issues and fuel loss, the crew maintained control and safely landed the aircraft at King Abdulaziz International Airport, blowing several tires but remaining on the centerline.
  • The investigation revealed no structural damage, showcasing the KC-135’s durability.
  • General Jay’s recollections capture the complexity, quick thinking, and teamwork required in emergency situations. His story underscores the reliability of the KC-135 and the commitment of part-time guardsmen, balancing civilian careers while serving their country.This Admin notes he first heard this story in 1993 at a Patton Cup Competition at Fort Lewis Wash. It was told to him by an Air National Guard member From Nebraska who was also participating in that event.
