YUMA - The Marine Corps Air Station in Yuma is hoping a 15-story wall of flame nearly 2 miles long will break a Guinness world record.
The wall of flame soared into the sky Saturday at the Yuma Air Show, causing thick smoke to cast a shade over the airfield and thousands of spectators.
The inferno was the finale of a day filled with daring flights by aerobatic pilots, skydivers and military jet fighters.
Event organizer Roger Lopez says the air station will send Guinness a video, a photo and two signed witness accounts to the wall of flame. If approved, Yuma's wall would shatter the current record, a 6,600-foot wall of flame set in 2007 at the Indianapolis Air Show.
Yuma's was about 3,000 feet longer.
