wow
damn thats crazy i wonder what caused the explosion
yea i saw this a while ago..weird:/
wish they had them F-14s in BF2 would be cool:D

holy crap--WTF...old Jet..maybe--??
Man hope the piolet made it out ok
~ Do you not know that in the service … one must always choose the lesser of two weevils?
I wonder if the pilot lived.. i didn't see much of a ejection.. just the guys filming "use your parachute! use your parachute!"

Afterburner engines are not very reliable.
The pilot made it out ok, btw.

Thats good then thanks for the info Stryykerstryyker wrote:

The bit as it passed mid ship with the cloud behind it was cool.

good, where did you find that info i would like to read more about itstryyker wrote:

Ouch.
The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling what reality ought to be.

Yeah...both the pilot and rio made it out okay.stryyker wrote:

As for afterburner engines...they are actually pretty reliable. Granted...the older the engine the greater the chance for failure (as with anything mechanical)...but for the most part they have very few problems.
I tend to think of it as the equivilant to adding hydrogen and crack into your car engine
If anyones wondering what the cloud behind it was...

"Prandtl-Glauert singularity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Prandtl-Glauert singularity, the point at which a sudden drop in air pressure occurs, is generally accepted as the cause of the visible condensation cloud that often surrounds an aircraft travelling at transonic speeds, though there remains some debate. It is an example of a mathematical singularity in aerodynamics.
One view of this phenomenon is that it exhibits the effect of compressibility and the so-called N-wave. The N-wave is the time variant pressure profile seen by a static observer as a sonic compression wave passes. The overall three-dimensional shock wave is in the form of a cone with its apex at the supersonic aircraft. This wave follows the aircraft. The pressure profile of the wave is composed of a leading compression component (the initial upward stroke of the "N"), followed by a pressure descent forming a rarefaction of the air (the downward diagonal of the "N"), followed by a return to the normal ambient pressure (the final upward stroke of the "N"). The rarefaction may be thought of as the "rebounding" of the compression due to inertial effects. These condensation clouds, also known as "shock-collars," are frequently seen during space-shuttle launches around 25 to 33 seconds after launch when the vehicle passes through the area of maximum dynamic air-pressure (see Max Q).
Since heat does not leave the affected air mass, this change of pressure is adiabatic, with an associated change of temperature. In humid air, the drop in temperature in the most rarefied portion of the shock wave (close to the aircraft) can bring the air temperature below its dew point, at which moisture condenses to form a visible cloud of microscopic water droplets. Since the pressure effect of the wave is reduced by its expansion (the same pressure effect is spread over a larger radius), the vapor effect also has a limited radius. Such vapor can also be seen in low pressure regions during high–g subsonic maneuvers in humid conditions. "
Glad the pilot got out okay

Luckily for the pilots, They werent at supersonic speeds when they ejected. The force of that speed would have compacted their bodies.
er...the sound barrier was causing too much vibrations for the jet and it disintegrated?
that wasn't going at supersonic speed...

I heard that jet couldnt handle the G-forces being applied to it during the turn because it was going so fast it just broke apart and blew up instantly, I still think its highly unlikley that the pilot would have made it out, because it doesnt look like he had much of a warning that the plane was going to explode.
Wow thats crazy
