@Konigsteiger If he was known to be reckless, why the fucking mcfuckstick would anyone ever let him be a pilot at an airshow?
Oh, that's right: US Military Intelligence.

This is why you never approach the sound barrier near sea level. Way too much engine compression

@Konigsteiger Reckless at the expense of the taxpayer. Go drones!!

a old F-111 no less.

@3077BIODROID with an explosion like that does it look like he was alright?

I heard a couple of stories about this actual incident; the pilot had a malfunction that once he tried to enter the sound barrier the over pressure from the barrier just ripped it apart but there was obviously something wrong with the plane before that. IDK how true any of that is but that is what I was told.

Was the guy alright?

To anyone whom is still watching this: I was present at the time this happened and still vividly remember it. It was a compressor failure within the Engine Compartment and caused a rapid destabilization of the internal fuel transfer cells. In essence, the plane's rear exploded from within. However, both the pilot and the RIO ejected and were plucked out of the water soon after. The pilot was known for doing reckless maneuvers and was actually killed a little less than a year later at an airshow.
