@sakoshooter48 My bad JDOZIER, I was bustin your balls and I was incorrect. You were talking Hawkeye and I was thinking Jayhawk. Somewhere in America there is a town missing its idiot, found him! 8)
The little cockpit hatches above the pilots, are right in front of the props, the radome and the tail assembly, a last resort in flight at best. Try to depart the aircraft in flight through those little overhead hatches, with your survival gear and chute pack, while spinning and flipping around at high G.
Better than nothing but not by much. Of course, an emergency seperation system for the radome and zero zero ejection seats would be the best system, weight and cost are prohibitive.
Compliments on the video. In my opinion, warfare should always be the last way out, something to be avoided at all cost. This has not been the way it has been used in recent years. If some of the money spent waging war were spent waging peace, these people wouldn't have to fly off aircraft carriers and into the sea.
You are drifty all right piss ant. The song is by Freddy Mercury and the group Queen. If the song was so annoying you must not have been viewing and feeling what was being shown. Real men who were giving their life so you could sit on you ass and whine about the music.
The percentage of military flights that include killing, are less than 1%, so its not about killing. It's about freedom. What you are saying is like saying the only reason police exist is to kill people or doctors exist omly to perfrom abortions. With todays technology, we no longer need an aircrew, we can kill everybody with the push of a button or we can kill as many as necessary with a joystick operating a cruise missile or a UAV. So, no military aircrews do not exist just to kill people.
Ya know what Chuck...I was in a similar situation. I spent 27 month's in Vietnam as a Radio Operator and as a tanker. In tanks, I was in Flame Tanks...loaded with 1,500 gallon's of Naplam. When ever the Viet Cong and/or the North Vietnamese Army closed in we were so very thoroughly terrified. The consequences would have made us into (forgive me) "crispy critter's. Freedom is not free.
Chuck is a former Marine who served 2 tours in Viet Nam as a grunt. He has told me some of the stories of his combat experience, so I know he can identify with what you are saying.
And yes "freedom is not free, but the USMC will pay your fee. Quote by Captain Ned Doolan, E CO Platoon Leader, USMC.
I grew up in flight test programs and combat operations squadrons and my father took me to many crash sites and I saw 3 fatal events myself. He always would tell me that this was the cost of freedom, that some must pay for all to be free.
How many of these were John Mccain's?

@TJDOZIER1 wonder what they were thinking at 4:19 then. It looks like the gust locks are in place but that seems unlikely on a carrier.
