Scary Process of Inspecting Air Intake of US F-16’s Monstrously Powerful Engine 

The intake inspection is only dangerous when the engine is running.

Alove you thankyou god

Yes god lov

Apparently the ground crew handles drop tanks, special pods, and at 1:53, F-BOMBS!

C130 requires 22 hours of maintenance for every one hour of flight time. So if it flies for 8 hours is it in maintenance for one week?

It's not scary if it's off. Most turbine fatalities happen when someone walks in front of the intake and gets sucked in. I was in aviation mechanics in a high school vo-tech program. One day our instructor showed us photos of what was left of a guy who this happened to. That image is still burned into my mind 3 decades later. Climbing into an F16 intake though? That looks very claustrophobic! 4:50 "that ain't goin nowhere" 😅

Yes tires are critical, but geez who writes this stuff!? And why is inspecting an intake scary?

🤩🤩

5 million dollars inspection 😂
