Australian Airforce Growler catches fire

An RAAF Growler has caught fire after aborting a takeoff due to engine failure at Nellis Air Force Base (LSV), Nevada, USA. The EA-18G Growler was taking part in exercise "Red Flag" with the US Air Force.
The Nellis Air Force Base Public Affairs Department said the "incident" happened about 10:45am on Saturday (local time).
Along with four EA-18G Growlers, the RAAF also sent an AP-3C Orion, an E-7A Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning and Control aircraft to Nevada.

Both crew members from the Growler escaped safely without the use of ejection seats.

Red Flag runs from the 29th January to the 16th February and Australia has sent around 340 Royal Australian Air Force personnel to Nevada to train in the world's most complex air combat environment.

Red Flag is a large-scale, highly realistic air combat exercise originating from Nellis AFB and taking place over the large air combat training ranges that surround the area.
