@technology.army: In 1995, an F-14 Tomcat from the USS Abraham Lincoln suffered a catastrophic engine failure during a high-speed flyby of the USS John Paul Jones. The left engine exploded due to a compressor failure just seconds after passing the ship. Both the pilot and radar intercept officer ejected safely and were rescued with only minor injuries. A chilling reminder of how thin the line is between power and disaster — even for one of the most iconic fighter jets ever built. Love Aviation?
