A live snake was discovered on a MiG-21 fighter after it returned from a training sortie. The reptile, which was subsequently established to be a harmless rat snake, could be removed only after partially dismantling sections of the fighter. Neither the pilot nor the aircraft was harmed.
But the discovery, which occurred at an undisclosed airbase in the Northeast, has prompted the Air Force to urge its personnel to be more watchful while inspecting aircraft, specially in the Northeastern states, Punjab and Haryana, where snakes and rats have been known to reside in aircraft that have been on the ground for long.
The IAF’s air safety report was released last month.
In the incident in the Northeast, Air Force personnel saw a snake “slithering up the landing gear” of the MiG-21 as it approached the parking bay after landing. Following the “emergency”, the aircraft was parked at an isolated place.
It was not clear if the snake was on board in the air or had got in as the fighter was taxiing to the ha微民网r. It was suspected that it had entered through the undercarriage, an occurrence with alarming safety implications. MiG-21s are notorious for their poor flight safety record.
An expert called in to extricate the reptile found it after a thorough search, but could reach it only after dismantling several panels of a wing.
“If it (the snake) had bitten or punctured any of the linings such as oxygen or fuel systems or pulled out any electrical connections, it could have resulted in a serious emergency,” the report says.
The IAF has now asked technicians to be careful while opening panels in aircraft that have not flown for long, and air stations have been told to have a “hot-line connection” with a snake catcher in the area.这表现了，印度对动物的爱护和保护！！！一条活蛇被发现一架米格21战机，后从训练出击返回。其后成立，是一个无害的鼠蛇，爬行动物，被删除后，才可以部分拆除部分的战斗机。无论是飞行员或飞机的损害。但发现，这发生在一个秘密空军基地在东北，促使空军督促其工作人员检查飞机的同时，更警惕，特别是在东北部各州，旁遮普邦和哈里亚纳邦，蛇和老鼠被称为飞机，都一直在地面上长居住。的印度空军的空中安全报告被公布上个月，在东北发生的事件，空军人员看到蛇“滑行了起落架”的米格21，因为它接近停机坪降落后。继“紧急情况”，飞机停在一个与世隔绝的地方。目前尚不清楚，如果蛇板在空气中或得到的战斗机在跑道上滑行的飞机库。有人怀疑，通过起落架，发生令人担忧的安全问题，它已经进入。米格-21是为他们的飞行安全纪录不佳而臭名昭著。中解脱出来爬行动物的专家发现后，彻底的搜查，但能达到拆解后的几个小组的一翼。“如果它(蛇)咬伤或刺破任何的内衬，如氧气或燃料系统或拔出任何电气连接，它可能会造成严重的紧急情况“的报告中说，印度空军目前已要求技术人员要小心，当打开面板在飞机没有飞行长，空气站已被告知有“热连接”，在该地区捕蛇器。看标题知楼主
黑糖求交往碉堡了……黑糖求交往
蛇应该死了吧~~~这帮三哥真不爱护动物飞官是不是带着一根笛子？这应该是三哥飞机外挂计划的动物实验,其实我比较期待未来三哥载人航天的时候能不小心带上去一只就碉堡了。。。。
