19th Fighter Squadron "Gamecocks" , 1986 - 1994 | ||
On 4 Jan 89 I launched 84-1228 which burned on the runway after ingesting two birds on takeoff. Anti-skid was not selected and the wheels & tires ground down to the axles. Final report said arresting cable tore the C/L tank open (I think tank made ground contact from all the visible marks on the remaining underside). Pilot was not injured and ran from aircraft. Forrest Gump's got nothing on pilots egressing a burning jet. Same on an F-111 fire I was at too. "Run Forrest!"
-
All the skin below the wing level was gone. At a cost of $18M the jet was not rebuilt.
-
I removed just about every salvageable part from the cockpit. WISH I HAD THE ID PLATE. ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET IT? Where did the jet go to after Shaw?
-
Couldn't get one flippin' screw out of the stab actuator panels to recover the ISAs.
