Default Supre Hornet blows tire and skids off runway

You're right. Maybe they can clean it up with soap and water. I'll try and
find out what happens. Seems there are no air bags around so they have to
sling lift this aircraft. I wonder how much the paperwork will weigh by
time they finish the investigation, the repairs, etc, Tom

Zowie!
Got her all cleaned up to display at the show and the boys end up backin'
'er thru the mud!
Looks like the stbd stabilator took a little stress in the wrong way, just
doesn't look like it's hangin' right.

Landing after a perfect series of maneuvers during the airshow, this
Super
Hornet blew the port tire. I was in line at the porta potty and heard
the
explosion. By time I got back to the flight line the aircrew was exiting
the aircraft and the firetrucks were on the scene. The runway was then
closed for the rest of the airshow. Seems Pensacola doesn't have the
equipment to lift and repair a Super Hornet.
