DIVERSITY: Shortly after a Navy P-8A overshot the runway and landed in Kaneohe Bay (everyone survived) I'm no aviation expert but I'd wager that photo was shot before the plane crashed in the bay.

Makes ya wonder what that crew's "personal pronouns" are, doesn't it. Less muff diving and more attention to flying the plane might be in order, if any of them ever get the opportunity to get off the ground again. If I was in charge of them, I'd probably reassign the whole bunch to working in the chow hall!

There were 9 people aboard so that photo obviously isn't the same crew that crashed. There's no mention of who was aboard so it could have been any combination of men/women/whites/blacks/mixed pronouns.

So the plane crashed for no other reason than a all-female crew? Yeah right!

And now you know why the front of the plane is called the "cockpit".

I would like to be the token male crew chief on that bird. Even if it means an occasional dunk in Kaneohe bay.

They landed with a 16 knot tailwind, max approved was 12 knots. IMC conditions, the other runway didn't have an approach.

Women smell other women and synchronize mensuration. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menstrual_synchronyThe whole crew was on the rag.

I've heard of a "Shavetail Lieutenant" but I believe in this case it's a "Splittail Lieutenant"

I think P-3Cs were about 25 million a copy when I was in the Nav. I'll take a WAG: about 160 million?
What's $160,000,000 these days?

If they indeed were forced to land with a 16-knot tailwind, it is no surprise at all that they weren't able to stop in time. No matter what the pilot's "plumbing" is.

I don't know anything about aviation, but common sense would suggest that landing from the opposite direction would turn that tailwind into a headwind???

Okay...I'm no pilot so please be gentle, but why in hell wouldn't you approach the runway from the opposite direction and land with a 16-knot headwind?
