Now I know I had more rockets than this when I took off. Hmmmm.... I was wondering what that button did.
A rocket was accidentally fired from an Air Force jet during a training mission outside Tucson, Ariz. on Thursday, landing in the desert.
It was sent from an A-10C fighter jet, landing approximately 60 miles northeast of Tuscon in the Jackal Military Operations area, the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base said in a statement Thursday
“During a routine training mission, an A-10C Thunderbolt II assigned to the 354th Fighter Squadron from the 355th Wing unintentionally released a single M-156 rocket today at approximately 10:40 a.m.,” the Air Force Base said.
The part of the desert where the rocket landed is not designated for missile release, the Air Force Base said.
No injuries or damage were reported, but the incident is under investigation.
