This was a serious fire! Not just a tailpipe flame out!
Entire right wing was engulfed in flames for around 20secs!
Bad scorch marks and soot from fuselage through to 2nd canoe, damage to leading edge and trailing edge, paint bubbled etc! Sounds like a very close call!
Amazed that this has not made the media!
GD must have paid the Fairfax and News Corp. bills this month!!!
