Maybe some. If you are talking about the explosion of the plane when it hits the ground then most likely it's the actual pressure from the impact that does the most damage. A body is likely to be ripped apart from the massive G forces first. If there is a fire then I suppose a body would be incinerated since jet fuel burns at such a high temperature, almost anything would be incinerated.

No the body is shredded by the blast of flying aluminum and you have the blast effects on the body. The body only burns if the parts land in burning fuel as could happen if the explosion happened on the ground. This is not to say the parts won't be burned but they won't be incinerated unless in fire for a good 20-30 minutes. Not likely in aerial explosions.

Actually, no.
95% of deaths in jet aircraft are caused by inhaling the incredibly toxic smoke from burning components. It takes only 90 seconds to kill a person.
Aircraft usually dont have that much fuel when they crash, and its far enough away, and well enough protected, that it almost never gets anywhere near the passengers. When you see burned out bodies of planes, it is most likely that the seats, which are made of incredibly flamable material, cought fire. If it was jet fuel burning, it would completely melt the body, since jet fuel burns at 3000 degrees.

If the bodies were inside the plane at the time of the explosion, or close enough to the explosion. Bodies aren't exactly fire proof.

Not always, the ones in close proximity to the explosion would be the worst affected.

why are you going to try this or what
i would think with a full fuel tank it would go up pretty quick but the tanks are in the wings.
in mid air I think you would be awake until crashing
plane would fall like a mack truck
fun stuff huh?

No, they just get barbecued, and bring a BBQ sauce every where you see a plane crash. FREE GOURMET.
