Default RE: Ram Jets

Here in Southern California, the dryness of the humidity and the lack of rainfall makes a very dry tinderbrush in the spring, summer and fall months. The flame coming out of the exhaust and the danger of a fire on a crash makes it very risky. The videos of turbine jets catching fire after a crash creates the danger of a brushfire. Hopefully, it will be quickly contained. If not and the conflagration becomes a full blown brush fire and with expensive fire fighting equipment, the culprit pilot can be sent a million dollar bill for the firefighting efforts. If there are structures burned down and injuries and fatalities.......it could end up in a criminal case and/or lawsuits. I would imagine in some dry lake bed in Southern California would be OK.........but then the distance and the hassle of driving that roundtrip.........Oh well!!!
