A captain goes down with the ship.

I was afraid his parachute wouldn't have time to open--big relief to see it fully deployed.

I can't remember the term they used on the History channel when describing parachutes that will deploy safely with the plane at ground level. Pretty neat that you can eject pretty well much anywhere and do so safely. ![]() |

I think the f-16 was one of, if not the first to have a zero/zero seat. It looks to me like that driver would have hit hard without the advantage of having the "ground" a lot further below the carrier deck.

Nope. I actually read a story once of an underwater ejection from, ironically, an A-7 Corsair. So I wouldn't call this one last-minute. ![]() |

Wasn't there a flight of A-7's on the deck at Sioux City when that airliner crashed that were instructed to prepare to eject (0-0) back in the '90's? |

I hope all the crewman on the deck had ALL their protective gear on. Looks like they could have a got a little burned if not.

We'd cut them in half with a machine gun and give them a Band-Aid.

Vote for freedom, not political parties
http://www.ytedk.com/ Kann ich bitte ihre Papiere sehen? At least I don't try to cover it up with a wookie snatch. Well, maybe back to back. But I gotta tell you, I'm not 100% on this. |
Dam that looks like a ride.

Ouch, that had to hurt. Hope the pilot came through okay, a couple of seconds sooner and he would have met that E-2 coming down the Cat.
