Thought that I would put this F-105 story on this thread so that it would be saved. Came as a comment from a reader on a different website about a different subject. Wouldn't want it to be lost though....
"The F-105G used water injection to get enough thrust for takeoff. Checklist includes pressing a tiny drain button momentarily to confirm the tank is full. It often sticks, so most didn't press it to avoid draining the tank. At a base unfamiliar with the aircraft, the ground crew accidentally used the contaminated JP-4 trailer instead of the demineralized water trailer. The check would have discovered this. Instead, when the water injection was activated after lighting the afterburner for takeoff, 36 gallons of JP-4 was sprayed into the front of the engine. The crew was lucky to survive the fireball."
