U.S. military plane crashes in Kyrgyzstan

An American military refueling plane took off and crashed in Kyrgyzstan on Friday, Kyrgyz and U.S. officials said.

Three people were on board, said Bolot Sharshenaliev of the Kyrgyz Emergencies Ministry. A ministry spokeswoman had previously said there were five. The U.S. military didn't give the number of those on the plane and said "the status of the crew is unknown."

The plane was a U.S. Air Force KC-135 tanker aircraft, according to the U.S. 376th Air Expeditionary Wing Public Affairs Transit Center at Manas, near Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. The crew and aircraft are assigned to the transit center.

    To aswer one of Chrissy's questions, Dodge doesn't make aircraft and a Dodge Spider is really a Mitsubishi 3000 Gt with a Chrysler sticker. Mitsubishi made the Zero, the famous WW2 warplane. Toyota engines as well as Puegeot engines are used in aircraft by many nations. Toyota also makes farm equipment, cranes, forklifts and other heavy equipment. Dodge makes crappy cars and trucks, and nothing else.

    I attended a medical convention at Brown University and have reached the conclusion that diabeties and high colestrol is so evident in many Americans because we are a bunch of fat lazy slobs.

    Oh no, I don't want to scroll my I-Phone. Tim Cook, can you develop a way so that our eyes can scroll for us. It takes too much physical exertion otherwise.

    Chrissy, I don't have to study these things, I was just busy rebuilding the front end of my friend's Yukon. You know, upper and lower control arm bushings, ball joints, inner and outer tie rod ends, drag link, idler arm, and sway bar.

      Funny thing is my 10 year old Toyota Tacoma drags heavy Chevys with half the age and mileage to the shop for extensive repairs all day long and my Toyota hasn't broke yet. That could be because my Toyota is 90% American made and Chevy is built by drunk Mexicans.
