Very hard to watch.

 

 

Trapped Pilot Drowns in Sinking Cockpit (1958) - Captured on Camera [HD]. The aircraft piloted by Commander J D Russell coming in to land on HMS Victorious in the Solent, Hampshire, it touches down, hooks onto the arrester wires and the plane then rolls along the deck. A rescue helicopter lowers a man down to try and help Commander Russell. But the waves lap over the cockpit and the aircraft sinks.

 

why didnt he eject.. it was worth the try, even without the straps to the seat i guess...

That sucks but glad the pilots are ok,They said they are now down to 15 mig 29's??

 

Thracian Star 2012 < I wonder what the training footage would be like

 

I know deferentially this was the last MiG29UB, and there are only few single seaters left flying

If you look closely you'll see it's not the engine burning :imho:

 

I think it's because of the extended fire on the tail side, but i still thinks the blades burst in the combustion chamber. But you are right, the fuel was burning :D

There goes the last Bulgarian double seat Mig29...

 

btw there was a group of photographers filming the whole thing. I hope they let them publish the footage.

 

They might be thinking purchasing new fighters. We got some of their AF representatives at work. They were VERY keen to see the MLU production line. :)
