Disappearing Into Thin Air

from Plane Tales

Military fighter aircraft that fly themselves around without their pilot on board is unusual, to say the least. Sadly this is often a situation that has tragic consequences. This tale is of three such events; happily one has safe outcome for the pilot… the others were not so lucky. An early Harrier prototype, the P1127. The Sea Harrier. A 75 Sqn F/A-18 in the foreground during a Red Flag exercise in the US. Images under Creative Commons licence with thanks to Alan Wilson, Billy Bunting MOD, USMC and USAF.
