AF mum on result of no-notice nuke inspection
Staff report
Posted : Thursday Nov 20, 2008 20:58:58 EST
The 2nd Bomb Wing at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., completed its first no-notice nuclear surety inspection Nov. 17, but Air Force officials would not say if the wing passed.
It is the first no-notice inspection the wing has completed since Strategic Air Command was disbanded, according to Air Combat Command officials.
In August 2007, Barksdale airmen discovered a B-52 on their runway that had flown from Minot Air Force Base, N.D., mistakenly loaded with six nuclear-tipped cruise missiles — the first of two incidents that led to a period of heavily scrutiny of the Air Force’s nuclear enterprise.
The Air Force inspector general made all NSIs no-notice in June as a result.

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad

What genius decided to stop inspections? Probably some Klintoon appointee.It is the first no-notice inspection the wing has completed since Strategic Air Command was disbanded, according to Air Combat Command officials.

Barksdale is a big base, with plenty of their own B-52s. IIRC, said BUFF was parked on the ramp three days, before anyone bothered checking it. I'm guessing one wing pylon had ALCMs with warheads, and the other didn't.mekender wrote:how the fuck do you "discover" a B-52... i mean we arent talking about a small aircraft here...
If they failed the inspection, many heads will roll.
