Totally Jacked Up Aircraft Photos

OUR TENTH-YEAR! Come celebrate all of the ham-fisted, ill-equipped, unprepared and totally inebriated photographers around the globe whom attempted to get that perfect aircraft photo but "Jacked It Up." We aim to provide the finest “Best of The Rest” photos, 'cause we don't use no stinkin' screeners. You send it, we post it. Click on photos to see them full size, and submissions are most welcome (if you dare). Remember, "Don't delete. Just submit your pics and repeat."

Deadly P-51 Crash At Reno Air Race. It Looks Like A Lot Of Things Went Wrong.

While the extent of the devastation is known, the cause of the cash is still elusive. However, with many eyewitness reports, backed up by video and photographs, many more questions are coming forth than answers.

In addition to what mechanicals are evident (the missing elevator trim tab, deployed tail-wheel), we, your meager staff here at Totally Jacked Up Aircraft Photos, have noticed something else from the above photograph. A faint, vapor trail from the area of the radiator.

As we mentioned earlier, more questions are arising from the footage than answers.
