That happened twice during the years I worked the B-1B.
Tail number 85-0084. Had a bad aft fuel tank fuel fill valve.
We transferred fuel forward until the nose came back down and ran the CG way forward. Defueled the aircraft and replaced the part.
The fill valve diaphragm got a hole in it and fuel siphoned aft until it sat on its tail.
Easy fix, but a shit ton of hours to prep it.
NDI showed no damage to the structure, just minor damage to the tail cone.
Towed decoy system wasn't in use when that happened.
No damage other than the tail cone.
Takes longer to get the cone on the stand for replacement than the actual job does.
The key to refueling properly is IF the crew chiefs do their primary and secondary checks on the float valve solenoids.
Two solenoids, two windings per solenoid. Lots of redundancy.
Continuous fuel flow into any tank with the switch in one of the four test positions shows a problem.
I can guarantee that the checks weren't done. It takes two minutes to check and this would have been caught before it happened.
Pure fucking laziness.
Prolly a new guy shootin a marlin and a tasco combo at 4MOA at 100, but really likes nekkid wimins.
Hail season has officially started. It hailed for approx. 30 minutes straight. I've never seen hail last even close to that long. 5-10 minutes tops with 10 minutes seeming like an eternity before. It dropped the ambient temps 20° in less than that time. Not sure how much damage but I believe minimal, at least in my direct vicinity.
The hail from last year, shown at bottom, got everyone in my 'hood a new roof and did a lot of damage. Still replacing roofs today and this was 9 months ago.
The drain is right here.
Hail that replaced my roof last year.
Nowhere near the volume as today. Although this storm lasted what seemed an eternity at around 10 mins.

I remember some pretty good hail storms when I lived in Pueblo West, not so much up here in the Vail Valley but it will not stop snowing.
