This Man Owns The World’s Most Advanced Private Air Force After Buying 46 F/A-18 Hornets
#30
I saw an F-4 go down in the Yellow Sea after an exercise at Kunsan Air Base around 1981-1982. Both pilots bailed out, and were picked up by a Korean fishing boat.

Both engines flamed out. A compressor stall perhaps? It seems odd that both engines would do the same thing. It seems like (well to me anyway) that both engines would be independent of each other. Maybe not.

Anyhow, I'd want a jet that was a bit more reliable. Like a "big mouth" F-16 with the General Electric engine.
