Mishap Report:
88-1707 has been damaged due to left gear failure at Mountain Home AFB in 2002.
During landing the left main tyre blew out and the left main gear strut was damaged, because the left main gear was oriented perpendicular to the aircraft flight path after gear extension. The same accident happened before at RAF Lakenheath AFB on 12th September, 2000.
