"Nothing on the ground was damaged"? man if a 16k lb jet crashed in my front yard I dont think the grass would grow back too quick...

-scary stuff though. we all KNOW the risks, but we also KNOW as pilots that we are the best and it will never happen to us...

You should see where the crash site is. There's nothing to damage. That's why it makes a great training area.

You should go train in Flint.. If a Harrier crashes there, the property value goes up.

 

[Harrier Dude]

If I crashed in Flint I'd aim at Michael Moores house. It would be worth it.

Dude it's Yuma. Not much chance of hitting grass, unless it's a golf course.

Please Don't!!!

Leave the golf course alone! We're parked on the other side of the 9th fairway from the Goldwater range....

He lives on the upper west side of Manhatten now, in a several million dollar apartment. He leaves only to tell the rest of us how F'ed up we all are.:icon_rage

I think that the majority of the Americans in " fly over " country see him for what he is, and having him around hurts his side more than it helps.
