What was supposed to be a routine Air Force training mission has grabbed headlines after a fighter jet accidentally unleashed part of its pay load over a desert in Arizona.
An Air Force statement said an A-10C Thunderbolt II or ‘Warthog’ was conducting a training mission in a military area between Phoenix and Tucson when it mistakenly fired rocket. The aircraft “unintentionally released a single M-156 rocket” at about 10:40 a.m. during a training mission, the statement said.
The unauthorized release of the M-156 rocket in an area not designated for live fire landed over Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in a remote desert area, specifically at a remote desert wash near Mount Graham.
