Nice....lovin the air-burst! From the shockwave and subsequent explosions beneath, I'm guessing an FAE and an ammo/fuel dump, or minefield?

Nah, just an aircraft in a revetment. Still a cool bang though.

Ka-frikky-boom indeed!

On closer examination, you can make out the nose/canopy and front landing gear in the middle of the ground flames.

In the early 1970's, Advanced Vehicle Engineers (AVE) of Oxnard, California, built a flying car called a Mizar. It was basically a Cessna Skymaster grafted to a Pinto. In 1973, the engineers, Henry Smolinski and Hal Blake, took it for a test flight. The wings and car "ungrafted." What was seen was a Pinto flying through the air sans wings.

The Pinto crashed, ending the careers of the two engineers, as well as that of the flying car.

 

[Trebor]

wasn't that Pinto in a James Bond flick?

 

[Njaco]

Nope that was an AMC Matador.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Interesting. Not a good end though.

 

[Njaco]

Can you see the face?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I see three of them.

Very cool!

Getting back to the earlier ones, of all cars to use building a flying car they pick the one that blows up
