Belgian Tech Accidentally Fires Vulcan Cannon And Destroys An F-16 On The Groundl

Quote:
A maintenance worker accidentally fired a 20mm Vulcan cannon from an F-16 jet he was working on at Belgium’s Florennes Air Force Base earlier this week, destroying another F-16 while damaging another aircraft nearby, according to multiple media reports.

We do maintenance on planes all the time that are armed.

You have to one up this guy in Belgium then to make him feel better about his poor choices in life.

Next time you're doing the maintenance on a fully armed fighter, just ripple a few missiles off the wings - that should upstage this guy no problem.

Sure but the first action/thing is to apply all kinds of safetypins/gear etc on the armaments right?

I wonder if, because safety with armaments is always so important, the lineup of planes at a hangar or airfield isnt layed out in such a way that aircraft are never parked in eachothers line of fire?
Thats how I would design the layout of an airforce compound at least.
