Remember when the gearbox got dropped at Herbie?

[@TOASTMEDIA]

Sorta, can you write this up as a short story. Genuinely would like to keep that memory for the ages.

[@robertd6387]

@@TOASTMEDIA i believe it was after cobra gold 96 or 97. After getting them off the C-5 during buildup. Crain operator had the pitch too low and tipped with the gearbox hoisted.
