Ejector rack malfunction blamed in inert bomb drop
A problem with the bomb release mechanism on an A-10 caused the aircraft accidentally dropped a BDU-33 on a South Korean factory on Nov. 29.

The pilot had tried to drop the dummy bomb from the Triple Ejector Rack at a practice range. The rack malfunctioned and the bomb later fell as the aircraft returned to base.
