P-8 overshoots runway in K-Bay

I noticed that too. Absurd. I was airborne doing approaches in Kona when it happened. Both of our pilots are VP guys and we all started getting texts about it. Pretty crazy. Hope they're able to get the field open soon.

Technically the field is still open for helo and V-22 ops, but closed for FW traffic. NOTAM says until 08 Dec but I'm sure that will change.

RWY CLOSED TO FIXED WING OPS. MV-22 OPS LAND ON RWY AT ECHO OR
DELTA. HELO OPS TO 101 PAD APPROVED. 21 NOV 03:23 2023 UNTIL 08 DEC 09:00 2023.

The comments on twitter are disgusting. Nearly half the comments are blaming stupid shit like pronouns, DEI training, and women pilots.

What do you expect? That's what their media spoon-feeds them as being "the truth"...

If it's not sensitive information, why not?

If so, I'll just STFU.

Just a guess- the 737 optional front door slides/rafts are an extra maintenance cost for something that is overkill for the crew size. They’re probably fine with a .mil version of the overhead stored rafts in the ceiling.

At least the NAS Jax pax got a smooth $2500...

The Navy contracted with a bottom of the barrel company and got what they paid for. Those pilots were fucking morons. Landing on the short wet runway with a honking tailwind during a storm instead of flying 5 more minutes to JAX. They’re lucky they only got everyone’s dog killed…

If you're asking whether there is provision for crew egress and water survival, the answer is yes.

I was wondering specifically about the slides. Given Zippy's answer and giving a little critical thought, it does make sense that it might be better to leave it off given the need to only evacuate a small number of fit and trained people vs a plane load of all types of ages, shapes and sizes.
