| Found this while snipe hunting for .com. It's really O/T, but it also shows the dangers of non-combat flight. Some of it is funny and some is very sad. |

| #9 #4, While that's not really where I intended to go, that is correct. There was an aeroweb or something article about how dangerous the F102 really was. It had the very high accident/fatality rate at the time. |

| #7 Holy cow! Hadn't gotten to that one, yet - wow! I wonder if they had their expectations synch'd with the reality of what happened. Somehow, I think this "staged" demo was a tad more violent and "successful" than even they expected! In other words, I hope that truck didn't actually have an occupant! |

| #4 Anon4021, so to put it another way, there's nothing to say that President Bush couldn't have been killed or seriously hurt while he was a NG fighter pilot here at home...and that he took great risks to serve his country, too even though he didn't serve in country in Vietnam like John "I still have rice kernels in my right buttcheek" Kerry. |
