Another old chestnut...
Wheelus Field, Libya. USAFE weapons meet. 48th TFW on det with single-seat Voodoos around the early 60s (?)
Boss RTBing with very poorly jet, being closely watched by attentive wingman who was squadron new-boy.
As they enter a VERY busy pattern, wingman suddenly calls "Colonel, you're on fire, eject immediately!"
Result? Four chutes and four smoking holes in the desert (and one career going no further)
