Yep. The jet had a flameout on take off and since it
was too heavy to
horse into the air safely on one engine, the pilot punched out. The jet
hit the ground at 300Kts+ and the cockpit section broke free of the main
fuselage which burned. This happened in 1996. I managed to get the HUD,
MPCD, TEWS and VSD plus other sundry parts out of the wreck. It was the
ultimate find for my project for sure. Every one of those boxes are made
of 100% pure Unobtainum. (they also happent to be filled with glass
shards. :) )
Somewhat on the same subject, what would be the chances of obtaining a
flight computer from the F14A?
I would REALLY like to get my hands on one.
