I read a book in which the author related the story of an F-8 Crusader which suffered an in-flight failure during refueling, causing flame to shoot forward from the intake. Apparently there was photographic evidence, which came in handy when the manufacturer insisted that was impossible. Believe it was one of D.K. Tooker's books, probably "The Second Luckiest Pilot." Very entertaining read, highly recommended if you like vignettes of danger in the skies.
