F-16 Ejection!

15 September 2003, 23:24

Did anybody else see the pictures on sky news of the American pilot who ejected just forty feet from the ground before his F-16 crashed and burst into flames? Talk about cutting it fine!

Keep the speed up...!

$29 million, as Jan 2003, for a new build, a paltry sum:D :D :D
