Happened during my second cruise aboard Nimitz in 1988. Idjits in my shop shot an A6 tanker, and killed two shipmates. By the time I got on deck the night check guys and AFFF had done most of the work and the fire was mostly out. Six planes lost.I got invited to check for ordnance that was going to cook off. Thankfully I am here to write about it.
Although labeled an accident, it was not. It requires a willingness to set the jet up to simulate the wheels being up and to get the computer to give "green light logic" In the case I was involved in the two guys simply did not want to load the gun twice.
