I was up at Detachment 1 (Middletown,Pa) when this one went in and we heard a different story. We were told that it was coming in for a landing at a to high a nose attitude and flipped! Never saw any pictures This looks like the afterburner fuel lines were leaking.
Looking through the pictures brings back a few memory's like that cold damn flight line in the winter and all those wires we had to swap on generator changes! Old Shorty had some words about losing his birds.

I was driving the 539th MA-1 Avionics truck that day. Chief of Maintenance jumped in with me and told me to get to crash site ASAP. It was an old ford P/U with a special camper type bed for carrying MA-1 Black Boxes. I floored the Ford which had a big V-8 and it billowed smoke all the way to 468.
The pilot was standing next to it as firemen put out flames. The pilot was wearing the old shoes from original ejection seat. The metal brackets where shoe cables attached made gashes in radome as he basically ran down radome to exit aircraft.
