Oops indeed!
I'll bet that was a 'your hat, my office' moment
Incidentally Ron, you must be the only person in the world who is still able to post photobucket hosted images (or did you pay the ransom demand )

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Good to see that the ejector seat seems to have worked.

The pilot isn't sure watts worse , the headache from the ejection or the one from the few bottles of scotch to calm his nerves!vacant wrote:Good to see that the ejector seat seems to have worked.

Most PB users have seen all their images on forums like this replaced with an image stating that the account needs to be upgraded (which seems to involve handing over about $400 for the pleasure!); you seem to be a rare exceptionronbow wrote:Haven't been asked to???????????iggie wrote:Oops indeed!

I hadn't noticed the hole in the roof, was that really the seat banging out?

The roof debris is mostly on the outside; it could be from the bang-seat
Buccaneers seemed to have not been built just as strongly;
XV339 crashed in Belfast October 1972
Crew ejected just before it hit ground

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

I think that's how they got in to get the pilot out, I will look for the accident report and let you know.iggie wrote:Most PB users have seen all their images on forums like this replaced with an image stating that the account needs to be upgraded (which seems to involve handing over about $400 for the pleasure!); you seem to be a rare exceptionronbow wrote:Haven't been asked to???????????iggie wrote:Oops indeed!

Does anyone know what happened to make the Hunter crash like that? It looks like the worst taxiing error in history.

Scott Crossfield had a brake failure in an F-100 and taxied that into a hangar wall at Edwards Air Force Base.
Chuck Yeager used to joke, "The sonic wall was mine, the hangar wall was Crossfield's".
It's happened a few times over the years.
