Just goes to show you, the only hour of flight time that really counts is the next one. Not too clever.

There are a lot of Navy pilots on another forum that know this guy. Not one of them has any sympathy for him.

See that is what you get for letting a Retired Navy pilot fly a retired Airforce jet!!! If it had been a Panther instead of a Sabre this kind of thing would not have happened!!!

Bummer, I see a new callsign of "Sparky" just around the corner.

Looks like he needed that backseater all along!!

That's why a tailhook is handy. If you lower it and hear it scraping during the flare you know you forgot the gear. Unfortunately, in a Panther there would be no flare so you gotta have really quick reflexes.
