Man, that is not speed brake, it is Yak 38 and that thing that looks like speed brake is actualy engine intake. Yak-38 had aditional vertical engine to help him get up.
What gives? 'peru wasn't being a jerk. Not like some on here. An underwater ejection is something I've never seen. And I doubt anyone else has either. Being underwater can change a lot of things. Ejecting was the only chance the guy had. Being runover by the carrier he was trying to land on. It looks more like he was trying to take off. Tho why speed brake was up is puzzling. The f-8 or the a-7's entire wing moved up a few inches for added lift I suppose. Its been awhile since my carrier days
The air brake faces back towards the tail not forward. That is a vent for STOL flight, It appears that he pulled the nose up too quick and stalled out into the sea.
@kill3r197 : I should have paid more attention in A-school. LOL After I posted my comment, my little gears started spinning in my brain. And you're right of course. Air brakes don't function very well, pointed forward. I'm blaming brain fade. The first time an aircraft popped forward facing speed brakes at pretty much any speed faster then a couple of hundred knots and probably even less. The plane would have been ripped apart. or that "flap" would have taken out the tail.
3) The carrier appears to be British..based flight deck markings and design 4) please feel free to correct me if I am wrong about anything....I have found that I learn a lot more by listening to experts, than by acting like I know every friigin thing...which seems to be a common trate among many people commenting here
folks..I'm not a real expert, but; 1) the guy landing on the flight deck was alive, as he is hanging on to the parachute risers 2) The aircraft appears to be a "Yak ##"... as I have been intercepted by similar aircraft launched from the USSR carrier "Kiev". ( I have 6,000 US Navy Patrol hours)
@HogerOpMielen pretty sure that's not a landing. I know the speed brake is deployed, but the aircraft seems static at the beginning, and accelerating. As crazy as it sounds, it looks like they ditched the aircraft on purpose.
As for the jackass saying the pilots probably broke their necks on the canopy ... you've spent too much time watching Top Gun. Ejection seats are designed to protect pilots from that kind of injury, so Goose would have been just fine.
Very impressive but I think the pilot died, unfortunately. His parachute barely had time to deploy before he hit the deck. Still, though, thats better than slow death by drowning
The Royal Navy had doctor and aviator who conducted the underwater ejection tests for the Buccaneer. Flying, crashing, sinking, rocketing, floating, splashing, swimming.
It's a two seated version. Where is the second pilot? The Yak-38 had an automatic ejection system, but this plane was one of the worst safety recorder in the aviation history.
What appears to have happened here is a failed Rolling take-off. Judging by the video quality it most likely took place in the late 1970' very early 1980's. This is not unusual for the Yak-38 to do a rolling take-off and most pilots preferred it to the VTO. Problem with the rolling take-off was that the thrust control nozzles had to be set at about 45 degree angle and go from there to straight back after it left the ship which is very complicated. Epic fail of the Nozzle adjustments.
@asianiinvasion wrong again the f35 VTOL version is being occupied by the British and the Americans are having the 2 fighter versions and the soviet union is on a par with everybody else including america so don't act like america is the big boss there isn't a big boss i don't see all countries controlled by one man do you ?
Hey if that saved him. I mean, if it's crazy and you live it works. It was his only chance given what happened, with his plane going down on him. I hope the guy made it.
Even more impressive, it was two-seater trainer variant of Yak-38 (clearly seen as it passes operator at 00:02). BOTH pilots ejected from underwater at 00:09, first landed near the end of the deck at 00:11, but looks like his chute filled only partially. They are both injured almost undoubtfully, if survived. In the end you may see people running from the second pilot to the first (he is out of camera view).
A US NAVY A-4 Sky Hawk lost an engine on downwind to approach on a carrier deck and the pilot described no time for glide or anything, it just suddenly hit the water and sank. He ejected from under the ocean surface and was rescued, but recieved a punctured lung.
That guy had an eventful day, take of from a aircraft carrier, crash into the water and eject from underneath the water, and to top it all of, land perfectly on the carrier again, and all within 10 secs
Yak-38 'Forger'. Notoriously unreliable engines.

When he hit the water he was having about +80 degrees of pitch, or +90 AOA....!
You wouldn't want to eject from that position while having the ramp of the deck right in your path...!
He probably, more or less thought about ejecting at that moment..., though he did everything to save he's life!
RIP if he didn't make it!:(
