Watch the video. Flames coming out from under two planes starting with McCain’s. (wet start). Ball of flames came first then missile took off.
Bull crap.
Georgia Girl 2, you have to let this go. I don’t mean this as an insult, but you don’t have any idea what you are talking about.
You don’t know the difference between a wet start and a hot start. You don’t know that McCain’s A4 was pointed out over the ocean in the standard spotting of aircraft on the aft section of the flight deck, and even if he did have a hot start, nothing would have come of it.
There are a lot of people here, myself included, who have spent a lot of time on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier. Your insistence on sticking with this is not only preposterous, it does you no justice and reflects very negatively on you.
You need to let this go.
