Five Hornet jets damaged after hangar fire system goes off
By: Geoff Ziezulewicz   3 days ago
A fire suppression system was inadvertently activated at a Boeing facility in Florida earlier this month, dousing five F/A-18C Hornets in retardant foam, potentially causing more than $1 million in damage, according to company and Navy officials.
No one was injured in the Nov. 2 incident, according to Boeing spokeswoman Jessica Carlton.
Although the Naval Safety Center classified the dousing as a so-called “Class A†mishap because the initial damage estimate could surpass $1 million, the severity could be downgraded.
