An Amazing Coincidence…

…in light of yesterday’s revelations about that B-52 that flew from Minot to Barksdale with nuclear tipped (but UNarmed) ACMs under its wings. And here are the guys responsible for at least PART of that debacle: the dudes of the Fifth Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, a component of the 5^th Maintenance Group at Minot AFB, ND. (Click for larger, as always.)

It should be noted that AMXS folks are NOT the munitions people, who have their own organization within the maintenance group. The AMXS guys, and this pic in particular, falls into the "guilt by association" category. And this paragraph is an UPDATE to my original post.

(h/t: Mike, who pointed me to Chairforce this morning, and, of course, Chairforce itself, where I purloined this image... exactly as shown above. One wonders just how long this image will remain in circulation. Or, in other words: “Ouch.”)
