Default BVM F-100 hit by missile... Explodes in mid-air

This just in... A BVM F-100 was hit by a missile today while taking off from Lakeland International. Pilot managed to eject safely, but no one has taken responsibility for firing the missile.











My original photo was skillfully Photoshopped by Mike B aka Minnflyer in the Digital photography section of RCU... Thought it was pretty funny.

Sclatch one Hun!

What I do is try to come in out of the sun when they are taking off or landing, that is when they are most vulnerable, and when the speed advantage of the BVM F100 versus my Kamdax Mig is less of an issue. One pass, and I am out of there.

Definitley a Roo missle, you can see all the pinholes in the glasswork, and the seams are coming apart....

Looks pretty obvious to me from this enhanced photo, that it was hit by a heat seeking Seanreit

Looks line the Seanreit missle may be powered by Cervesas and chimichangas?

That makes sense. Sean's head has proven its hardness with the rotor-blade strike method. Better than depleted uranium for sure!

What is amazing is that the hot exhaust appears to be exiting the left pant leg. You would think that this would cause some sort of roll instability while in flight.

Seeing that picture reminded me of a scene in the movie X-15. Charles Bronson was flying chase in F-100 and lost engine/hydraulic control at low altitude, it's amazing footage and I believe it's refered to as the Sabre Dance. Anyone know where I can get a video of this? The movie doesn't seem to be available either. DB
