* An intended disaster gone off plan was the controlled impact demonstration in 1984. Meant to test anti-mist kerosene, fuel with additives to keep it from atomizing, a remote flown plane was deliberately crashed into some concrete structures to create holes in the fuel tanks and see what happened. On the day, one side of the plane hit the ground first, causing it to skew and hit the structures at an angle instead of straight on, slicing through an engine which managed to ignite a typical crash fireball. The demonstration was both a goof in the botched landing and for anti misting fuel, which still ignited in the crash, possibly being less dangerous at first but taking a long time to extinguish. However, the test still served it's purpose and collected useful data.
