I'm glad they got out ok. I also hope (for their sake) it was mechanical,
otherwise they'll go down in history as the crew that ruined the F-15's
perfect win/loss record. :)

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd

She impacted pretty flat though. That flattening you see is more due to
impact force than the post-crash fire. I've seen a MiG in similar shape
that didn't burn. It looked like someone pressed it in a can smasher.
