Colorado Coffinmaker Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Nope. He was re-directed to a land base. He and his aircraft recovered on board the next day.
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted February 6 Posted February 6 That’s a really high “pucker factor” event. Bet they had to extract the pilot’s seat from his behind on landing… 🇺🇸
Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 6 Author Posted February 6 As soon as it got a little altitude I would have just ejected and then resigned my commission when they picked me up.. Why press your luck? 😁
