Then this happens--

So, 110 hit right at the wing root by a very few rounds, including one or two incendiaries--explosion shears wing off, big orange gasoline-looking fireball, which trails the plane for a second or two, then snuffs out, leaving the plane plummeting, barely smoking--pilot bailed and survived.

I would love to know what gadget I hit to produce that effect. Anyway, I will be aiming at that spot next time I shoot at a 110.

I wonder if this could be one of those situations where a fuel leak caused a build up of fumes in the wing and surrounding air, and then the incendiaries ignited that and caused the explosion. If so that might be hard to intentionally repeat.
To be quite fair I havn't seen tons of guncam clips where wings have been BLOWN off. They are quite sturdy and the wingspars are basically massive girters that run across nearly the entire span. What it looks like to me is fueltank detonation. And the huge fireball is the result of the evaporating/combusting fuel that is spilled out of the fueltank and finally it's all gone up in smoke.

Looks quite spot-on to me Thanks for sharing!
