copemech Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Oh crap! Its going to be a hard landing! How do you do that? Obviously before the the computers would let you hit the "up" switch while still showing airspeed! I think it may be time to "punch out"!

telecat Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 It's not the only incident where the F-8 Crusader launched from a carrier with "wings up". The Procedure was to dump under wing stores and fuel and land ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
