If your airplanes breaks in half upon landing do you get credited to 2 landing or do you divide 1 landing by 3 pieces for 1/3

Whatever the armchair guys come up with - it looks like a good landing 'cause the pilot looks to be mostly ok.

In the proper nomenclature, I rate the landing "OK-3". As far as I'm concerned, the tail ended up over where the 3-wire would be today, so he did his job.

Bet he's STILL writing up that snag!

.........I've read of guys flying shot-up airplanes back to the carrier before, but geeez

It's only a good landing if you can re-use the aircraft. He is awarded only half a mission as he only brought home half of an airplane. Boy, you folks don't know anything!

and a good "starter" project by today's standards

Amen to that!
