Blue Angles jet fishtails off of runway in Maine

Yep. Not the fault of the pilot. My late father commanded a P-80 squadron in Iceland in the early 50's and he said the problem was that the engine idle if the P-80 was at about 90% and with that thrust you were moving on ice regardless of whether you had the brakes on or not sometimes. He said you steered with the brakes as best as you could and put the power on when it was time to go!
