Carrier Landing

Strapped a Super 8 camera to my Canopy Jettison Handle in an F-4J Phantom II, Mediterranean Sea, 1968, aboard USS Forrestal CVA-59. OK 2 wire.

At 00:14 there is an aircraft being launched. That's what was angled decked developed for by the British, to launch while landing an aircraft simultaneously.

@Telivison15o; there are only 3 wires from CVN-76 on. All carriers b4 have 4. FYI.
-
@mve010776 That 's stack gas from the ship's engines. We were probably the first aboard on this recovery. The F-4's (gas-guzzlers) didn't have the legs of the other aircraft. The ship had just turned into the wind and cranked the engines trying to get 30 knots of wind over the deck.

Wow only three catapalts now on these new super carriers ie: USS George H.W. Bush, there are 4 now. Amazing.

Amazing landing cap!
Tell me, please, what´s that smoke when you turned to final?

@rippersrule Thanks!

I was not an LSO. But it seems they always had comments even on good solid passes, which is why I couldn't resis the comment. (HOSX) means little high, overshooting start. (CDAR) means little come down at ramp. Which was definitely the way to land on the FID, especially on minimum wind over the deck recoveries. After leaving the FID, which had the shortest ramp to 1 wire distance I went to the JFK, which had the longest. That took a while to get used to.

@rippersrule - I caught a 2 wire, which was my preference... What's the story with (HOSX) (CDAR)?. I trained as LSO on that cruise but have forgotten the abbreviated commentary.

(HOSX) (CDAR) OK 3

I didn't know the Forrestal was even operational in 1968. I thought that the Zuni rocket incident crippled it until 1971.

This was the first cruise out of Norfolk shipyard after the repairs. That old beast would shake and rattle on a night with no wind, when the boss was trying to get 30 knots over the flight deck.
