Aircraft Mishap Montage 1 part 2

Video Title :	Aircraft Mishap Montage 1 part 2
Description :	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... 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. http://rareaviation.com/store/catalog/product_3353_Breathtaking_Military_Crash_Videos_cat_1032.html

sucks to be the first pilot

I Made a few traps in the S2F and can't believe how screwed up the pilot got things at 1:50. The Stuff was a sweetheart to land.

redbaroniii: I don't know anything about it, and my knowledge of the Navy is very limited, However it looks like only one main gear is down. It looks like it was gusty (shear winds). He likely had a little anxiety with one main up, so was likely flustered and trying to go slower then normal and the gusty winds also threw him off. I think only having one main down made him yaw on landing. That's my SWAG

ATFS said " think only having one main down made him yaw on landing. That's my SWAG " Didn't notice the lack of port gear. My eyes are going this late in life.

Those poor pilots that ejected from the Vigilante at 2:45. It looks like they could've rode it in, but you don't think about that when there's a problem.

That F-8 took a nasty hop... wouldn't have been a good thing on a carrier!

nice job on the first jet.

As outrages and dishonest as Kerry's claims were at the testimonies, Kerry exaggerated the matter much more to the press. Apparently all for Kerry's own greed and political gain.

Brentswitt , It is despicable and morally bankrupt that "stupid" people like you would defend someone like John Kerry for perjury, and exaggerating and misrepresenting his own record for selfish political gain. When it was popular to support the war, John Kerry capitalized at by exaggerating and fabricating himself as a hero. When the war was unpopular, he portrayed the same service as war crimes.

During testimony they portrayed Kerry as a decorated hero, yet according to Kerry's own testimony his actions were crimes. Even if Kerry's claims were true at the 1971 testimony's, then that means he misrepresented the paperwork that got him the decorations. Therefore he should be stripped of his decorations. Kerry's claims seem to be like all flag in the wind, they changed direction depending on what he thinks gives him a political advantage at the time, which is largely based on popularity.
