I don't know whose carrier he was going to land on with his landing gear retracted.

baruta12- I couldn't believe it when i saw this video, that was on the USS America in 93 on a Med cruise. I was working as a Flight deck troubleshooter in VA-85 and was on the flightdeck waiting for the birds to come in when it happened. They punched through the canopy. When the navigator punched through, it tore his hands up down to the bone. Props to the pilot, I can't remember who the crew was, but they performed admirably.

@raginh8r it might have been raised to reduce drag or so it doesnt clip anything
-
@jonesy97 B/N goes first (he sits at the right side of the cockpit, and a little lower than the pilot.) the pilot goes last.
-
@datzfast I've seen a few different angles and a longer cut of this accident. He did have the wheels down and must've been adding power to go around when he lost the engine. The wheels are just finishing retracting when the engine 'fires'.
-
approach with wheels up? that would have been interesting im thinking it might have been shot up.

That was VA 85 Black Falcons during a North Atlantic deployment

The gear was up. Maybe more to this than just losing an engine on approach. Other damage perhaps.

Note: the landing gear was up because he was told to "wave off" which meant his approach to the carrier was not safe, when he raised his landing gear and punched the throttle the port engine blew. Since the engine blew, they didn't have enough thrust to get back in the air from their decent, so they went off the port side of the ship and punched out through the canopy.
