<Mary Shafer talks about AIBs at Dryden>

As an ex-U.S. Navy photographer on board an aircraft carrier, I spent a lot of
time shooting pictures for AIBs.  They ranged from the time an enlisted 
supply petty officer ran his forklift into the side of an F-14 while he was
watch a couple of female visitors on the ship to aircraft sliding down the
flight deck after striking the ramp.  Once, we took close to a thousand shots
of an F-14 that was totally destroyed.  I remember standing in the photolab
with some of the other photographers, watching a near crash and almost
cheering that the airplane would go over the side so there wouldn't be any
thing to take pictures of.
