F-104 Starfighter crash barricade test, gone bad some would say. A test pilots job is to find and work any bugs out. F-80 Shooting Star lost it's nose wheel, emergency dry lake bed landing. F-8 landing test for carrier qualification.... C-2 Greyhound, bad carrier landing. F-4 Spin test, failed drogue parachute, eject. More...


Good subject; poor video quality. Most of the films were shot using old-fashioned equipment, sometimes over exposed and washed out, under great vibration. The film and tapes were not that good quality when I got them and over the decades age and EM has deteriorated them some, and some quality was lost digitizing the recordings.

This real thing, not Hollyweird.

Most of the montage footage I posted is available, that has been better stored and has been enhanced and edited using high-end professional equipment and a lot of time. They have done an excellent job in restoring much of the footage

The footage is in different order and has different music, however it has much of the same footage.

There is a digital preview available at the link. I am not affiliated with the web site.

  • I Made a few traps in the S2F and can't believe how screwed up the pilot got things at 1:50. The Stuff was a sweetheart to land.

  • redbaroniii: I don't know anything about it, and my knowledge of the Navy is very limited, However it looks like only one main gear is down. It looks like it was gusty (shear winds). He likely had a little anxiety with one main up, so was likely flustered and trying to go slower then normal and the gusty winds also threw him off. I think only having one main down made him yaw on landing. That's my SWAG

  • MAN!! this is a F-104 he called "Widow Makers" for a reason

  • Good compilation. Creatively bankrupt musical choice. Can't this song be destroyed?

  • this looks like the "Challenge Of Flight" videos. brings me back memories, nostalgia

  • sucks to be the first pilot

  • ATFS said " think only having one main down made him yaw on landing. That's my SWAG "

    Didn't notice the lack of port gear. My eyes are going this late in life.

  • Those poor pilots that ejected from the Vigilante at 2:45. It looks like they could've rode it in, but you don't think about that when there's a problem.

  • That F-8 took a nasty hop... wouldn't have been a good thing on a carrier!

  • nice job on the first jet.
