Pilotasso Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 WOW just look how lucky all those people on the deck were including the pilot protagonist of this insane stunt. Incredibly the plane skids all over the place without breaking to pieces. http://www.patricksaviation.com/videos/Starfighter/1110/ .
Guest IguanaKing Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 Credit to the crew for not egressing immediately upon impact. I'm sure the vid was taken from an observer position on the superstructure, the LSO (to the right of the crash) was probably singing a very different tune. ;)
Pilotasso Posted October 8, 2006 Author Posted October 8, 2006 The right wing makes a realy realy near miss behind one of the crewmens neck. Bet they counted their blessings that night, yikes... .

Force_Feedback Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 Is it the oh god f**king-ah one? He he, if you compare it to the CF-18 wheel missing emergency landing, yes, the pilot was either afraid to egress, or had superhuman perception, or just luck. That CF-18 pilot ejected when his plane was almost standing still, guess he didn't trust the F-18's wing strength to absorb the rolling motion, or he watched that Gripen test flight crash. In any case, it has great ejection footage, and the timings of those seats aren't as great as MB propagandized. Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy:
