Default RE: Do you remember...

The first i recall was at a Leeton Jet event in 1995. It was a Bolly Scorpion with JPX. Everyone was very excited when it started up and did its engine run. The second run it had there was going to be its first flight, well acceleration was slow and the wire fence running parallel to the runway got closer and closer until the jet went straight into it, got all tangled up and melted the back end. No electronic cutoof valves then so someone had to manually run over and shut it down. Too much melting to be able to see it fly then..
