Bryce,

Do you have any larger pictures of the F-14??

LOL! Trust me my first reaction when seeing the size of that pic was, What the....?

I am not excited about posting these, but some feel that it is important because it was a twin turbine with redundant everything that crashed at high speed, wings swept, at full-throttle. There was no explosion, no fire, 18+K, and hundreds of hours of work down the drain. Lessons were learned, mistakes never to be made again, and life goes on.........SAFELY. Every jet crash is not a fire or explosion, especially if precautions are taken during building, setup, flying and in the event of a problem, crashing. However, as has been seen many times before, even in the unlikely event that there is some type of ignition, there is usually never more than a bright light show for a couple of seconds and the event is extremely localized.

So let me try this again, hopefully they'll come out smaller, otherwise, you guys get the idea.
