>>While most of the plane appears intact, the canopy did fly off.
Journalists! LOL. I’m sure the pilot was happy that the canopy “flew” off.
BTW, reporter....its also missing a seat!
That pilot might not want to fly off carriers.
It will be interesting to see how this works out. That particular aircraft normally doesn’t have an issue stopping. Very impressive braking system.
pilot male or female?
I’m guessing he might already be a “former pilot”...
His career as a naval pilot is likely finished though, something at this point he might not be too upset about.
How long is the runway? Do they need a longer one?
I remember an old retired Air Force Colonel once told me that a lot of Air Force Bases had long runways due to the B-36.
...land long and hot, it would seem a simple thing to add power and GO AROUND especially when there is a bay at the end of the runway. First reaction. Maybe we will hear what the problem was and maybe not, since the accident investigation results may be a while in coming and will be old news.
