A buddy sent me this 🔥🔥video!

When your fighter jet had too much Del Taco

Who’s with me?

Nice. Pickled engines

A new set of points and plugs should take care or it..

That would be a potential disaster on an aircraft carrier flight deck.

Preflight checklist - At least 20 oz of molten metal on the flight line, check.

Sea foam!

That was a mother of a tail pipe fire!

So glad in all the maintenance turns I did never had a wet start

Back in ‘92 at the Kun, on a given Saturday, I was enjoying some leisurely tennis with other Viper Drivers when the silence was broken by jets taking off. They were Blk42s (PW22x like this one) from Osan. Someone yelled out - “check out the nozzle fire!” and sure enough, one canceled AB and had a bright plum jetting out sideways from the nozzle. He climbed to high key and then landed. We ran to the EOR and casually walked around the broken jet- its turkey feathers all burned amuck. I never saw any nozzle/tailpipe fires with the GE Vipers, but quite a few on the Pratt-powered models. 😳
