  • I guess I am retarded, patatebrune. I was there that day, and it didn't seem funny to me. That crew almost lost their lives. I guess it's a generational thing.

  • that's where the term "aeronautic" really came from...

  • That's pretty amazing!

    It looks to me like it is a Grumman C-1 Trader Carrier Onboard Delivery aircraft.

    Great job by the Navy Pilot who held his mug through that drenching, and came out straight and level!

  • @99race99 you're not retarded - you're just seeing the result of organized religeon.

  • @JBofBrisbane Actually I am not sure. On second though, the E1B has a different tail configuation. Thanks for keeping me honest and accurate.

    BTW: IMHO the very best Australian export is Judith Durham and the Seekers.

  • @exenrontexas - Are you sure? It looks like a Grumman Tracker to me (the Royal Australian Navy used to fly them off the deck of HMAS Melbourne).

  • I think that is the Ticonderoga and Essex class attack carrier. The plane is an E1-B or COD (carrier onboard delivery) used to shuttle people, parts and mail.

  • cant even begin to imagine what the flight crew felt when that struck them.

    once back on deck I wonder if they went for coffee and chuckled about it

  • @tobascocat1 Actually, the pilots name was Chuck Testa

  • It looks like it still made it into the air ... check out the last second or two of the video where, once the ship comes down of the next wave, you can see the wings of the plane above the bow off the starboard side!

  • y would someone ask if the plane was damaged by the waves
