The RAAF F111 at Ohakea was not involved in a fly-past, hairy or otherwise, but taking -off in full AB on a very wet runway and both engines flamed out. With no overshoot to speak of, they quite correctly decide to eject. The capsule landed very near to the burning wreckage, so close in fact that one crash vehicle placed itself between the capsule and the aircraft, losing a coat of paint in the process. The crew were totally unhurt.
