Was this the 1 where the Intruder after take off rolled to the right but all managed to eject, or is this a different video? That looks like a external fuel tank to me being dropped, but I am not sure.
@TAILHOOK75 Oh dear...how did you find out!? It's my best kept secret! Were you able to deduce all of this just by my Youtube account or have you actually been stalking me my whole life!?
@TAILHOOK75 You just keep on making the A6 community proud. Personally, I'd be embarrassed to be in the same job as you after seeing your maturity level on here.
@TAILHOOK75 Yes I know Greg Noll, I'm actually very good friends with his granddaughter. Keep acting like you know me! It's really helping you look more legit, really!
@TAILHOOK75 I know a lot of pilots and, unlike you, all of them are actually able to show maturity. I would say I'd love to show you up by meeting you but now that I think about it, I have absolutely no desire to meet someone with such little respect for our armed forces that they feel like lying about their own service on youtube.
@TAILHOOK75 Good call, act like you know me. Let's take the attention off the fact that you're LYING about serving and try to focus it on the person who's calling you out on it. Good tactic, stick with it.
@TAILHOOK75 You're a disgrace...Caught in a lie and now you make up a story about how you mixed up this one with "your mishap." Do everyone a favor and go crawl back into whatever hole you came out of.
@TAILHOOK75 People like you who pretend to be the people in the video are a disgrace to the people who were actually there. So how did the ejection go genius?
@TAILHOOK75 This clearly is NOT a cold cat shot. You can see engine exhaust from just the left engine. A cold cat shot would have dumped the plane in the water. This A-6 was trying to climb out on only ONE engine. Had both been working he could have climbed out easily !!
@drguffey A cold cat shot has to do with the catapault no the state of the plane's jets. Either steam pressure being read wrong or wrong aircraft weight being entered into the cat system.
@Robbob9933 You are correct ! A cold cat shot does not generate enough energy for a plane to get airborne. Some cold cat shots you can see deck personnel running along side the plane to render assistance. That's not the case here. This A-6 clearly has flying speed when it leaves the ship but cannot maintain flying speed because the starboard engine is out !
Flight still boggles my mind lol. I know its been around for like 100 years, and i'm familiar with the science. but for a 747 full of fuel passengers and luggage to hang in the sky by just a change in air pressure is amazing.
I was on the IKE from 1977-80 & we had an A7 take off from the #1 cat and he lost all hydraulics as soon as he took off his plane did the same thing as this plane did, except as it was going down it rolled to the right & the Pilot ejected but didn't survive. Back in the 70's we saw a lot of the Tom Cats go down, lots of accidents on the carrier but for some reason they never got reported in the news...
They Both did make it fine. there was only (1) 2000 gallon tank on the centerline station. The EMERGENGY Jettison button WORKED! Gotta LOVE dem A.O.'S. If u ever heard of the ejection on the flight deck in the Gulf where the plane rolled off the end of the deck and was stuck vertically for about an hour... It was the SAME B/N approx 9 mos apart TWO ejections.
@brent52 I saw the full length version of this somewhere else, just as the A-6 started to roll over the pilot and BN both ejected. I think one came out of the cokpit just as the plane rolled through 90 deg. Both did survive if I remember correctly.
Looks like they had to eject their warp core. Janeway will not be pleased.

It's a drop tank, my guess is they didn't have enough power and needed to drop weight.

this was simply not enough pressure on the catapult to get the weight of the aircraft in the air.
