@YatesyMU Send me your contact info and I'll arrange to get a DVD out to you. When is your next safety stand down?

I always wanted to know who put this together, should've known it was a Firehawk. At least it's not a still of an AO2 getting hit by Cable Car. Yeah I still have that pic and all the others you shot of me while in VP.

@firehawkordy Great to have you aboard, Jonesy.

so whos to blame on this, the pilot or the crewman, or all of the above?

[DrCha0s]

In general, it would be all of the above. It breaks down like this:

Aircraft Commander - Takes all responsibility for the aircraft. Much like the Captain of a ship.

Pilot at Controls: Kinda made a hot-dog approach - 20% fault.

Pilot not at Controls: Should have said, "This is a kinda hot-dog approach." - 5% fault.

Crewchief and second crewman: Should have said, "Slow down, unable to clear zone." 5% fault.

Guy who fell out: Poorly seated, crew belt clipped in wrong place...: 70% fault

Haha That is funny. yeah you can see the wash when it moves back over the ocean on the left next to the ship.

Yeah, I think you owe it to yourself and everyone in the aviation community who needs a good laugh... =)

Actually, I made this in 2006. HSC 25 sent out the raw footage as a "don't let this happen to you" message. I couldn't resist the satire, so I edited it into what you see here. I had always planned to send it to the Naval Safety Center but I just haven't gotten to that for some reason. I guess I still could...
