Having been assigned to AIMD and watched the ADs do the run ups on the boat's fantail I can honestly say that this is seriously f*cked up :!:

Does anybody know the details regarding this mishap? The J85 was used on the T-38, so was it an Air Force video or from a private operator of a -38?

I noticed that too, you can see the throttle lever on the left side of the screen before it pans to the aft section.

Bet that made a heck of a racket going into the wall.....
