this year U.S. air force began to deploy aircraft fire support AC-130J Ghostrider. Serial released just a few samples, however one of them after trials had to scrap because of the revolution in the air: the machine couldn't take the pressure. Damage was estimated at $115 million to repair and turned out to be meaningless.

the Incident occurred earlier this year at a height of about 4.5 thousand meters. The aircraft lost controllability exceeding slip angle, and instantly turned over. The team was able to return the aircraft to its normal position, losing during this time of 1,5 thousand meters of height. Then AC-130J Ghostrider returned safely to base, however, experts recognized the plane unusable (due to excessive congestion was damaged the structure and some of the nodes).

the Special Commission has concluded that the dangerous situation has arisen from-for errors of pilots, reports FlightGlobal. The developer of the aircraft, in turn, were encouraged to implement a more effective system of warnings and process guidance.
