That looks like a landing accident. If it is; why's he still got his drop tank on? That looks really nasty...

He's got his Drop tanks still on because a mechanical failure didn't allow him to jettison it. If I remember corectly :)

I don't feel much comfortable with putting a funny caption on a pic where a man is about to be burned alive. Sorry.

to man who's trying to save him, he's more couragous that I'll ever dream to be.

I know the man climbing INTO this burning aircraft would just say 'I was just doing my job'..but he is going way beyond the call of duty saving his brother like this. I sure hope they both made it.

I am about 99% sure that the ground crewman climbing on the cat, got the pilot out.


That is pretty famous pic.

It could have been funnier thread if the picture was accompanied by a note that no one was hurt. It is not good to joke about tragedy but "almost tragedy" - those we joke about all the time.

He got a medal.

The pilot was bringing a wounded Hellcat back and the drop tank wouldn't release.  The gear collapsed upon landing and the tank ruptured, spilling avgas onto the deck. The heat from the motor ignited the fuel.  The man climbing onto the wing is the LSO (I believe) who got the pilot out of the plane.  Both survived the accident.

My caption:
"Sure is hot in the south pacific..."

Now caption this!

I am simply amazed a that the man can climb up on the plane due the enormous size of his balls.

 "Uncommon Valor" comes to mind.

C'mon gofaster! that can't be a real plane! It is way too ugly and was obviously dreamt up by some degenerate fornicator like Kurt Tank!
