GW tried a 'Mission Accomplished' landing by himself. Missed the first cable, slammed into the net., that wripped out and she slid into a Hawkeye queing up for launch then bounced off of that and slid onto an elevator which was on its way up.., and got its nose pinched off which fell onto a bunch of marines drinking warm beer.., the gunny fell off his 50 gal fuel barrel and bruised his 'drinking' elbow and they were all so p-o'd they began to throw their empties and some full ones at the aircraft.., hence all the damage to around the nose.

ROFLMAO!!! Welcome to my favorites list... :)


Back to the topic at hand... was the nose over the back edge of a JBD when it flipped up?

I was only 16 at the time. I didn't learn a really good slouch until I actually joined the Navy :shock:

Maybe another aircraft was being repositioned, pushed backwards, and the sailor not paying attention, backed it into the Phantom?

The F-4J was to be struck down to the hanger bay. It was hooked to the mule via a towbar and backed onto the elevator.
The elevator was lowered without the mule being unhooked causing it to rocket up it a nice arc and come crashing down on the F-4 :shock: :?
There was much screaming involved from GOD ie Air Boss and a few others.
It sat out the rest of the cruise.
