Excellent pics and interesting to watch the pilot and WSO's heads swivel around and watch the directions they are sliding in all of the photos.
Very good and lucky men on that ship...

Not 'man' enough for a 911? ![]() Stjin... The two fairly heavy engines are slung out back... c of g is not that far in front of the main landing gear pivot point... Not all that unexpected to get a 'tail sitter'.... |

With two blown tires it probably was on the verge of flipping.
