applyImpulse freezing

So, I'm putting the finishing touches on my radar release, go and do a little test run on my airstrike, and lo and behold, the applyImpulse code is broken.

Every time my airplane spawns the loop is called and ticks 3 - 4 times before the game just deadlocks after applyImpulse is called.

here's the block & code:

datablock FlyingVehicleData(F22_JetBomber) {
   spawnOffset = "0 0 2";
   canControl = false;
   catagory = "Vehicles";
   shapeFile = "art/shapes/vehicles/F22/F22.DAE";

   density = 1.0;

   mountPose[0] = sitting;

   isInvincible = true;
   
   maxDamage = 10000;
   maxEnergy = 500;      // Afterburner and any energy weapon pool
   rechargeRate = 4;

   minDrag = 25;           // Linear Drag (eventually slows you down when not thrusting...constant drag)
   rotationalDrag = 900;        // Anguler Drag (dampens the drift after you stop moving the mouse...also tumble drag)

   maxAutoSpeed = 57;       // Autostabilizer kicks in when less than this speed. (meters/second)
   autoAngularForce = 400;       // Angular stabilizer force (this force levels you out when autostabilizer kicks in)
   autoLinearForce = 1;        // Linear stabilzer force (this slows you down when autostabilizer kicks in)
   autoInputDamping = 0.8;      // Dampen control input so you don't` whack out at very slow speeds

   // Maneuvering
   maxSteeringAngle = 7.0;    // Max radiens you can rotate the wheel. Smaller number is more maneuverable.
   horizontalSurfaceForce = 6;   // Horizontal center "wing" (provides "bite" into the wind for climbing/diving and turning)
   verticalSurfaceForce = 4;     // Vertical center "wing" (controls side slip. lower numbers make MORE slide.)
   maneuveringForce = 4750;      // Horizontal jets (W,S,D,A key thrust)
   steeringForce = 587;         // Steering jets (force applied when you move the mouse)
   steeringRollForce = 3000;      // Steering jets (how much you heel over when you turn)
   rollForce = 1;                // Auto-roll (self-correction to right you after you roll/invert)
   hoverHeight = 2.5;        // Height off the ground at rest
   createHoverHeight = 1;  // Height off the ground when created
   maxForwardSpeed = 190;  // speed in which forward thrust force is no longer applied (meters/second)

   // Turbo Jet
   jetForce = 2000;      // Afterburner thrust (this is in addition to normal thrust)
   minJetEnergy = 40;     // Afterburner can't be used if below this threshhold.
   jetEnergyDrain = 12;       // Energy use of the afterburners (low number is less drain...can be fractional)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          // Auto stabilize speed

   echo("AS Loop "@%Bomber@" "@%approachVec@" "@%trueTarget);
   if(!isObject(%Bomber)) {
      return;
   }
   //Move along the approach vector
   if(vectorLen(%Bomber.getVelocity()) < 50) { //Acts as a speed cap on the velocity of the bomber
      echo("Speed...");
      %Bomber.applyImpulse(%Bomber.getPosition(), vectorScale(%approachVec, 1));  //<-- Freezes here???
   }
   if(!%Bomber.bombing) {
      if(vectorDist(%Bomber.getPosition(), %trueTarget) < 400) {
         echo("Begin Bombing");
         %Bomber.bombing = 1;
      }
   }
   else {
      //Drop a bomb every 5 ticks
      %Bomber.ticks++;
      if(%Bomber.ticks == 5) {
         %Bomber.ticks = 0;
         //Bomb!
         echo("Bomb....");

      }
   }
   schedule(150, 0, AirstrikeLoop, %Bomber, %approachVec, %trueTarget);
}

While this won't delay my pack or anything, I'll just have to do without an airstrike example for now, but I'd like to know why this is causing my game to just abruptly freeze. Thanks.
