The two pictures you show has been around for years at least. I've seen them about 4 years ago.

Re: Opps wrong button.....Sidewinder away........

I remember the police car story from another forum. I cannot recall why the driver was distracted, but a airman working on the F-15 feel off the aircraft when it was hit by the car. That airman had to be medically discharged due to injuries from the fall.

Back in the pilots mess I bet that guy took some ribbing, I doubt he would ever live that one down.

Re: Opps wrong button.....Sidewinder away........

The sidewinder accident was actually caught on tape, as I remember seeing this footage (or something similar) with the missile skipping across the deck until it went over the side.. and IIRC, it wasn't a wrong button pushed, but the missile malfunctioned..
Pretty scary no matter how you look at it....

I thought it might have been part of a new Navy Calisthenics program. If you can dodge the Sidewinder you are fit for duty.
