Quite a few incidents have been blamed on the night vision goggles. Not sure if that will be the case here, we'll see.

I worked on on these in the late 80's and saw some crazy shit come back from the field. One in particular came back from a place where they were not supposed to be with a 3 inch hole blown in a main blade and the pilots still managed to land it. These airplanes could really take a beating.

Carry on NINE 101 1st Airborne Lives Don't Matter .... We Only Care About The Gender Confused CivililizTion now whereas as there are 86 Genders And any Normal Rational People in this country are not on that list ..

Forget to change the Night vision goggles batteries before the flight?

fully vaxxed!

Maybe. Who knows?

Interesting .. do you know anything about the Blackhawks that were crashing due to electro-magnetic interference issues ?

I'm pretty sure it was UH-60s anyway, around 1988 or so

I think they were grounded for a while until a fix was made

"tits up!"

You have a backup battery on the military nods… Part of preflight is to test your backup battery by switching to backup battery mode prior to takeoff.

wow, good idea, to have a built-in battery backup, especially for aviators -- NODs didn't have those back in my time

had to carry extras ... and of course privates would always manage to find some way to "lose" them
