Well it is late at night and since my room mates are asleep in this several person room in the "Castle"(duh, wonder where that could be) and since two of them snore and the other two fart all night might as well just look out the window and watch aircraft take off and land. I can do that since all the rooms are on the second and third floors. After watching some C-124's land and listening to the brakes squeal in the night, I watched a "6" taxi to the active. What year was that? Why 1964 of course. The "6" hit after burner and started take off roll. Nothing strange about that but what is that. His whole tail end is on fire and I'm not talking after burner. He finally got enough altitude just over the end of the runway and the next thing I saw was the rocket pack in the seat fire. Well the aircraft went down in the swamp at the FT. LEWIS end. Nothing there at the time but there is now. Yep, it happened again in another article about the "6" that hit by the apartments. History repeats itself. Must have been a 318FIS, Tigers wouldn't do that.

I'm going to move this over to one of the Talk boards though so everyone can chime in and keep it going. |
