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.

Very cool!

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