  • I was on the Nimitz when this happened it was a tragic thing! I was a young man then,and still remember it like it was yesterday!

  • there is always a refueling plane some where in the med , navy or airforce if rota couldn't launch 1 madrid could of or even the spanish airforce they had tankers there old kc97's with 4 trurring and 2 burning, wehave bases in turky we have the med covered refueling should not have been a problem

  • @STIKEMJIM they coulda attached a bouy and recovered the bodys with 7 people abord had to be some one that survived the crash, still say they shoulda tryed

  • what fn navy you with? the hell we don't put boats in the water to save people if the helo's can't , as for the landing ya he screwed up(what they teaching at peensy/) any way ya he shoulda ejected he the co pilot the radio man and navagator there are 4 ejection seats in the Sky warrior or if you like the B66 wich is what she is a small(small??) bomberwe had them at Rota Spain as kca3's they should a tryed to resque them or recover bodys

  • @charlougas EA-3B does not have ejection seats. You either bailout at the proper altitude (preferred) or ditch the aircraft in the water (not preferred) and take your chances either way.

  • what if what if... what if someone threw a brick into your face you rag reporter!

  • Yellow journalism, Bruckner has a history of tabloid trash reporting along with Hard Copy's trash program.

  • There is one man to blame for this. Terry TBone Hanson. He was the skipper at this time and was on board when this happened. This pilot had just been thrown off another ship and Terry brought him back to Rota and bounced him a couple of times then sent him back out to risk the lives of members of his squadron. When this happened the crew wanted to jump instead of trying again. Terry gave them a direct order to try gain with no gas left. They obeyed the order and a good friend of mine is dead.

  • @STIKEMJIM  I believe ya.

  • the plane was simply running out of fuel , and if both alert refueling aircraft were actually ready then this would not ever happened , the first ones drone did not eject and the second refueller was burried on the bow , hence=, flight deck coordinater error .,shame on the whole operation and a big shame on a government coverup.. again
