    My dad (Air Force vet) told me about this one: seems the pressurization system (that pressurizes the cabin so the crew can, like, breathe and stuff) has some sort of safety device to keep it from over-pressurizing. Well, on this bird (a KC-135 Stratotanker, I believe the -R variant), the safety was defective, so the plane just kept on pressurizin’. For their size, aircraft like this have surprizingly thin skins, so eventually, pop goes the weasel.

        Being in the Air Force, and the maintenance field to be most precise, I’ve heard this story a few times. It was a civilian contractor doing a pressurization check with a homemade gauge…. The gauge didn’t work right so he didn’t know he was over pressurizing until this happened.

  5. Yup. Pressure test gone bad, and crew chief left the area with test in progress.

    FAIL

    Pressurization test wrecked rear fuselage. At previous maintenance, the pressure relief valves were secured shut and not released afterwards.

  12. scott says:

    I would hate to be the person left the pressure relief valves tighened. loser

  13. Ray says:

    This was an aircraft from my squadron, it was at a rework facility when the contractor started the pressure test. The gauge he was using wasn’t authorized and the end result is, well….
