Carrier Flight Deck = Most Dangerous Place
Wow
I was more worried about the crew getting hit by the cable. That shit's dangerous.
He was at full throttle when he hit the deck. They do that in case the pilot misses the cable, they have enough speed to take off safely.
They can easily rip a man in two. Its definitely a frightening thought.
That's why they come in full power.
Am I the only one that thought he came in hotter than normal on that?
Evidently they had the wrong aircraft programmed into the arrestor system. So he ripped the cable right on out!

No idea in regards to if he was coming in too fast anyways, but I don't think those prop planes can accelerate like a jet fighter can, and probably needs a higher approach speed to ensure he can take off if he misses the guide cable.
Nice find.
That's insane
That was surely scary. I saw that happen once aboard the carrier I was stationed on. Something you never forget. I give those pilots a lot of credit for the conditions they deal with taking off and landing. Especially at night and in rough seas.
