Mistakes by some Boeing mechanics in San Antonio could have led to one of the planes in the Air Force One fleet catching fire in mid-flight. An incident report released by the Air Force this week says the oxygen system aboard one of two aircraft in use was contaminated while the plane was undergoing maintenance at a Boeing plant in San Antonio.
The three mechanics used tools that were not properly cleaned of residue while performing the work. The incident happened in April of 2016. It did not result in any injuries and Boeing paid for the four-million-dollars in damages caused. The "Air Force Times" first reported the incident.
