Collision with car during take-off roll
Neuburg AB, JG 74, October 21, 1969, 16:13 hours
F-104G 23+35 collided during take-off roll on Rwy 27 with a VW minibus of a civilian repair company, which crossed the runway without authorization.
The left wing cut the top of the car and the tip tank was ripped off. The pilot burned down fuel and made an Emergency Landing 30 min later at Manching AB.
The second aircraft aborted the take-off roll and rolled through the debris.
Luckily the formation did single ship take-offs due to different engines (J79-GE-11A and MTU J79-J1K), which precluded a possible disaster.
The civil technician died in the hospital.
