Umm, would you call this FOD?










Not too bad. I think. That FOD screen probably saved me thousands!

It's the engine out of my sand worm from dune, it hit a little mud in it's subterranean endeavors!

Take the cowl off, remove pcb and all plastic bits, and stick it in the dish washer. It will be fine.

Hmmm, I seem to remember that the results of an off runway excursion in the mud with a colapsed nose gear on an F16 tends to look somewhat like that.

Yep FOD screens are great. Not needing them even better.

LOL!

Yup, it was outta my bandito. I was a bit cavalier in my throttle management and it bit me! The BARF isn't too bad at all, I put on drop tanks and they saved the plane.

A little mud, a broken flex plate here and there, not too bad!

I couldn't believe how much mud was caked in my intake! [X(]

I'm trying to get some days off for Cali Jets.

Take it outside and hose it off! After you remove the electronics of course!
