P-8 Poseidon slides off Runway

[HeyEng]

A P-8 Poseidon slid off the runway and into the water in Hawaii, possibly due to WX. No injuries reported and from the photos the damage looks minimal, but an inspection might reveal a hull loss if there is major damage to the MLG trunnions and engine pylons and wing spars.

I hope everyone is okay.

That's one VERY expensive mishap. I complained the other day that aircrews downed aircraft for a myriad of questionable reasons to allow a stay in a tropical paradise. This crew wanted to leave no doubt.

“We see you had a mishap in the Navy, can you tell us about that”  

”well you see, I have long maintained a personal policy of never go around, because that’s what pussies do!”

Next on who did it better

At least there’s one less guppy flying around. If I could, I’d push every 737 into the ocean

I always said I’d fly anything, but it only takes a couple JS rides to know I will avoid that Boeing shit like the plague!

Maybe they are taking sub hunting to the subs home turf.

Agreed.  I had to fly both before I could admit it, but these cheese-loving, surrender monkeys sure build a better airplane.

The 10 mm socket was never found...

Subsequent photos show that the fuselage is cracked open so this aircraft will probably be written off. The P-8 has been one of the better DOD acquisitions and had a relatively smooth testing and fielding especially when you compare it to the KC-46!

You have become the submarine to hunt the submarine.

To find the enemy, you must think like the enemy.

Brings new light to the term “unrestricted submarine warfare.”

Nice try, GearHog... but that's the wrong squadron.  

Do your homework.  Details matter.

It was a joke.

In the Navy, any airplane can be a seaplane if you try hard enough.

There are more planes in the ocean than submarines in the sky!

So it's a numbers game!?

There is always a first, and...
