A-10 Thunderbolt II ejection, note seat almost hits parachute and pilot on the rebound. F-100 Super Saber?; in a version of coffin corner. AV-8 hover, last second ejection, but too late. F-102 Delta Dagger?; Emergency landing without nose gear. A-4 Skyhawk, A-6 Intruder. U-2 nose gear jam.
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.

A6-A/B/E Intruder: 2 seat multi role attack bomber and tanker(KA5-D); EA6-A/B Prowler: 4 seat modified Intruder for electronic countermeasures.
Nice collection!
that was an a6 intruder. eight years with intruders. 1972-1980
a-6 intruder is actually a prowler; similar look, but different.
It's an A-6 Intruder. The Prowler version has the radar jammer on the top of the tail.
nice vids, i feel bad for the pilots because i want to be a fighter pilot when i'm older, now, i'm just a 12 year old student pilot
(Traditional aviation definition) It's when stall speed and max airframe integrity speed meets or very gets close. If you cut back on power, you stall, dive, over-speed and break-apart. If you try to descend you over-speed and break-apart. If you get to close to the edge you have to fly level until you burn off fuel till the flight envelope changes (gets larger).
You seem to know your definitions, I was just curious. Thx for the update!
You were not wrong to ask. I was using it in a broad context. That's way I said a "kind of coffin corner".
I joke with pilots that are waiting on their woman to get ready to go out, and they woman ask things like, "does this make me look fat, silly, ect..." when it does there is no good response, so I just say coffin corner to the other guys.
