When was that, dgax?

I saw something else pre/during ('63 guess) Vietnam where one of the F4 turbine blower's --AKA Huffer-- (a mobile starter to get the plane's turbine moving) exhaust cooked one of the F4's rockets causing a chain reaction, including 500#bombs going off on deck.

The planes in your pic seem to be F14's and maybe an A8, definitely post F4.
