That's probably a push-back. He has to shut down both engines for a push-back. You don't see all the people on the wings and struts pushing too. There's always a guy on the radome pushing because he has an unobstructed view of the wing tips.

The funny one is the guy who stuck his hand in the "football" of a EA6B and got his wedding ring welded to some gear when the power arc'd. Guy survived along with all his fingers, with just some minor scorching from the short time before the circuit breaker blew. I don't think I've got that picture any more, but it was a good one.

I was watching spike tv and one of their 'craziest video' segments showed a crewman being sucked into the intake of a Prowler. He survived the ordeal with a few bruises they said.:o:o:o:o

[ASWnut101]

yep, he got a ribbon of clothing stuck on a part of the engine inlet, saving his life. One lucky fellow.

Never forget to feed the plane.

But yes, that could've ended pretty horribly. I'm glad he lived (wouldn't joke about it if it had ended worse than that).

I feed my plane with live kittens every morning. :up:

Well, I would, if I had a jet. :shifty:

Nope, it actually looks worse. But nothing some seatbelts won't hold together. :up: :know:

It's not much better if you're* on the other end, either.

The F-18 photo shows how much they cut back on Manpower in the US Navy!!

[Iceman]

I remember a friend of mine years ago told me of why he was discharged from the service..he told me was was aboard and aircraft carrier, dont remember which, and he said he saw a crewmen pass behind a jet and it fired it's thrusters and the man melted....he said they hosed him off the deck with a hose into the sea...which I can understand as I would'nt think there would be much left...this incident haunted him I guess so the gave him a medical discharge....never forget him telling me that story.

funny stuff huh?

[The Avon Lady]

Over my first cup of coffee.................amusing.

Are you sure it was fired? I don't see an ignited motor, even the low smoke propellants should be clearly visible if they're that close. It may just be a release of the weapon without igniting, for example during the landing shock, and then the missile simply slides forward. The little bit of smoke might be due to the wings scraping over the deck.

That's exactly what happened. If the Sidewinder had ignited, there wouldn't have been time to tahe that second picture...

[fatty]

Even though the guy in the first picture is obstructing our view of the motor itself, we should still be able to see some flame if the missile was really ignited. Consider these photos of burning AIM-9s:

By the way, as we are discussing interesting accidents, what's your opinion about this one?

Almost apocaliptical on a local scale...
