Default Airborne Fire?

Hi,

A El Toro, did this plane actually catch fire IN THE AIR?

It looks like it from the pics, if so I have never seen that before, does anyone know how it happened?

No. It did not catch fire in the air. Don't know exactly the cause but had no power but I think the engine was still running??? Almost made it back, but stalled nose up and just dropped flat on it's belly, then came the fire.
