Crashed in Sierra de la Muela. Pilot Cap Ignacio Azequeta ejected.
I witnessed this crash while TDY in Zaragoza . As the aircraft lined up on the runway for take off one engine went into full afterburner it could not have been more than 100' off the deck before over rolling into the ground at a very high rate of speed . Was told engine replaced the night before and the throttle linkage failed and went into full AB as throttle advanced for take off
