some pretty good video...couldn't open the F14 missed.

The BEST one I have EVER seen, is an Intruder going missed off the angled deck...

guess the pilot thought he caught the wire, then realized he didn't, and added power 'just a bit too late'.

The A6 disappeared from the camera shot as it sunk below the deck, then you see the two guys eject...

then a moment later the A6 emergers and flys away...

that really is priceless.

Anyone have a link?

Saw a Tomcat that did the same thing. Tailhook snapped, they went trickling off the end, both ejected and the plane flies away in full blower. You can't however MMQB a desicion they had to make in about a second and a half. I'd rather eject and have the plane fly away, than stay with it and get run over by the ship/drown/die/you get the point.

Heck ya! give it back to the tax payer. That would be my motto.
