Hanging out in starboard observation one day and my buddy rips the basket right off the 135. Biggest fireball I had ever seen comes out his right motor (both ends), but the thing keeps running. Needless to say the formation loosened up quite a bit. Absolute radio silence for about 30 seconds while the 135 shut off the fuel, and retracted and stowed the boom.

135 crew: "Can we provide any assitance"
F14 RIO: "No, just send us the bill."
