P-80 starts on fire, video will keep revisiting this plane as it burns. Short carrier landing. C-2 Greyhound hammerheads after catapult launch. Large passenger plane gear test? F-16 belly landing; note how the pilot is so quick egressing and the emergency crew is so quick to respond, the rescue crew comes close to hitting the pilot. It would be ironic to survive an aircraft mishap and to be run over by the rescue crew. F/A-18 Hornet lands hard, damages gear, FOD to engine. F-14 misses wire, but hits (clips) an A-7 wing tip. Ejection test. C-2 Greyhound wipes out. F-4 in distress...boom? S-3 Viking lands damages gear, misses wire, crew ejects, and then the plane flies off without a crew.For some reason, the pilot did not eject and managed to fly the jet back around to a safe landing in the barricade,on the Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71).
Good subject; poor video quality. Most of the films were shot using old-fashioned equipment, sometimes over exposed and washed out, under great vibration. The film and tapes were not that good quality when I got them and over the decades age and EM has deteriorated them some, and some quality was lost digitizing the recordings.
This real thing, not Hollyweird.
Most of the montage footage I posted is available, that has been better stored and has been enhanced and edited using high-end professional equipment and a lot of time. They have done an excellent job in restoring much of the footage
The footage is in different order and has different music, however it has much of the same footage.
There is a digital preview available at the link. I am not affiliated with the web site.

F-104 Starfighter crash barricade test, gone bad some would say. A test pilots job is to find and work any bugs out. F-80 Shooting Star lost it's nose wheel, emergency dry lake bed landing. F-8 landing test for carrier qualification.... C-2 Greyhound, bad carrier landing. F-4 Spin test, failed drogue parachute, eject. More...

The first operational deployment of the Tomcat occurred in September of 1974 aboard USS Enterprise. The deployment took the first two Tomcat squadrons to Vietnam where they flew CAP covering the evacuation of South Vietnam. No aerial encounters with North Vietnamese aircraft were recorded. |

This is a launch from catapult 3 on the ship. I'm in the left seat, so I'm at the controls. |

This is one of those legends that most don't believe. However, it is true. This experiment was done in the early 1960s to ascertain ... all » whether C-130 operations were feasible on a carrier. The margin of error was too close for comfort, and another option was developed; namely the C-2 Greyhound. This aircraft (147798) remained in service with the United States Marine Corps until (approx) 2003 as a KC-130 Aerial Refueling tanker (KC-130F). It saw service in Vietnam, and again during the Gulf War. I have a few hours in it. |

WOW.
If you have not military static-line parachute jumped, you will probably not see the significance of this video of British Parachute Regiment Paras jumping UNDER 500 FEET in war practice. THE ENTIRE FORCE IS ON THE GROUND IN UNDER 30 SECONDS.
Re-read that if you didn't get it the first time.
http://www.combatreform.com/airdropbeatsairland.htm
The entire C-130 planeload of Paras has each one exiting and landing on the ground in under 30 seconds. There is little if any dispersion due to wind; the only separation is what is created at the time of exit. 4-6 seconds of freefall out the side jump door followed by the pack tray opening and the canopy deploying shows 150 feet of altitude loss; leaving just 350 feet at 15 feet-per-second leaves only 23 seconds to lower rucksack and prepare-to-land!
Here's some stills from the video proving this extreme low altitude mass tactical parachute jump:
http://www.combatreform.com/britishLLPjump1.jpg
http://www.combatreform.com/britishLLPjump2.jpg
http://www.combatreform.com/britishLLPjump3.jpg
British Irvin 5200 UFO-shaped parachutes can be jumped as low as 250 feet!
http://www.combatreform.com/llparachute.htm
British Paras war practice @ 500 feet as shown in this video which is (wanker) F-ing amazing! American parachutes cannot be safely jumped this low:
http://www.combatreform.com/parachutealtitudetables.jpg
When you jump this low you don't have the luxury of a bad exit so the British Paras have their door exit technique more precise than our any-foot-you-like, face 90 degrees to the door crap;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93G27U_HdZY
see other Brit Para jump video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAjNop4uyao
Also notice RAF C-130s have in-flight refuel capabilities for long-range missions while most "vanilla" American C-130H/Js can only fly on the fuel they carry at take-off.
My constructive criticism is the parachutes should be a LIGHT GRAY color to blend in with daylight skies
http://www.combatreform.com/camie.htm
because DAY JUMPS are needed and are going to happen in 24-hour, around-the-clock war, and the Paras should drop/jump folding mountain bikes
http://www.youtube.com/my_playlists?p=DEBB047C1F3DC03D
and light tracked tanks/APCs out the rear ramp to provide light mech mobility and firepower on the ground.

Amphibious + Airborne = Royal Marines?
http://www.geocities.com/airbornemuseum/sld026.htm
An amphibious force needs the ability to parachute in not just Recce units--but blocking forces company-sized and larger by high-speed fixed-wing aircraft. The act of airlanding ANY aircraft is very un-tactically sound; if air defenses get too sophisticated then NO COVERING FORCE LANDS and if that happens, it'd be fatal to land from the sea because there'd be no WW2-style Airborne screen to stop enemy forces from converging on the amphibious forces from hide positions that were used to evade prep fires by naval guns, air strikes etc. Gallipoli/Dieppe all over again etc.
The New British CVF carriers need E-2C Hawkeye AEW fixed-wing STOBAR aircraft; C-2 Greyhound cargo variants should be used to drop embarked 1st Para Regiment and/or RM Para Forces.
