Except from the infernal ablazing Hurricane external screenshot which I took this afternoon, there's nothing which fits in that criteria. But i couldn't make a screenie from inside because I was dead within seconds. But you have to blow up one of those large storage tanks, though. The smaller ones have just no impact, neither to a Hurri

Thanks for the screenie of the Hurricane on fire from the pilot's view. In all my hours in the Hurricane (100's), I have never seen a similar view. Maybe I'm just lucky?

Just remembered this video I made (over a year ago now) that shows a Hurricane on fire. Not sure what the effects are like now, or what the exact circumstances were that led up to what you see in the video.
