Nice. Love Gonkys and Wombats commentary. When everyone claps it reminds me of the vid of an E2 and an A6 bolting, disappearing below the deck before climbing away.
Awesome and terrifying video at the same time. Pilot is so fortunate to survive this.
Fuel state 300 lbs… whoooot
That was incredible 😮 Fly Navy 👊
OK-Barricade landing
You should review Oyster’s Night Barricade on Connie. I was on deck that night and his “Good” engine was crapping sparklers around the pattern.
Wombat briefly mentioned the top of the stanchion….. Oyster had Balls of Tungsten that night. Hopefully you will elaborate on the rest. - Radar

Love these breakdown videos. You guys really should do as much of this as time permits you to. This is where you guys really shine with your commentary and presentation styles. You play well off each other.
Thank you! I always try to do an LSO breakdown when WOMBAT is on, interesting stuff.
I don’t know how that pilot did that in a true life or death situation. I’m nothing but a DCS wannabe, and imagining entering the groove with 200 lbs of fuel, knowing that if you suddenly loose both engines to fuel starvation, your probably falling right into the back of the ramp. I don’t think I’d have the guts to do a zero fuel barricade in DCS where I’m safe at home in my office chair. If it was real life, I’d probably tell them “the taxpayers can buy a new jet. Call the chopper, I’m ejecting alongside”
Since I have a kid, I'm familiar with the Disney animated movie "Planes" (which was on Mover Ruins Movies). They of course had anthropomorphic planes and even an anthropomorphic aircraft carrier (the "USS Flysenhower"). Their scene was of a couple of Hornet like planes (voiced by Anthony Edwards and Val Kilmer) finding the protagonist over the ocean and guiding him to the deck to do a barricaded landing. I saw a small featurette showing the director's visit to the USS Carl Vinson where the crew gave suggestions for how to talk through a barricade landing.
They referred to the straps of the barricade as "the spaghetti". The Captain actually suggested saying "cut, cut, cut" during the landing.
Great job by all on the team.
Wow this sure was a pucker moment, thank you for sharing this and explaining was going on, just crazy kudos to the pilot.
Remind me why they couldn’t tank him?
Probe wouldnt extend, something about damage incurred by the nose gear during the cat stroke.
In an A-7E they practiced at 500 pounds. I’ve seen them rig the E-2 net and I thought it had been ripped up and I got educated.
This is why Navy Pilots are #1!

"No, I like all you Navy boys. Every time we've gotta go someplace to fight, you fellas always give us a ride."
They aren’t pilots, they are Naval Aviators!
As an ABE we dreaded our "rig the barricade" drill because they always seemed to call it near the end of an already long hot day and we were exhausted, but damned if we weren't ready to do it so these guys (in my days it was all males flying) could receive a golf clap instead of a swim in the big lake or worse, a memorial. It was crazy to watch every color on there deck scramble to and attack the net like a tug of war, rig the stancion, and rush into crash positions. There is a barricade for the E2.
Just unused Maverick footage.
Dang! How hard a hit is that when the nose strikes the deck once in the net I wonder? Awesome to see this save in action.
I work on Legacy Hornets now as a contractor. Comparing 300 lbs of fuel to my Piper Cherokee. The Hornet can fly for only a couple minutes but that same 300 lbs of fuel would let the Cherokee fly for 5 1/2 hours. I used to do engine runs on F-16’s and at idle for 5 minutes it would burn about 20 gallons I also remember the F-16 fuel gauges accuracy was +/- 400 lbs!
300 lb fuel?
In the C-130, each tank gauge was maybe 1000 lb +- accuracy. I wonder how much fuel he actually had.
Everyone earned their pay this day.
I had the job of NCOIC of war redness at Clark AB which included supporting the barricades. They told me the barricade was to save the pilot, not the airplane. I appreciate all the calls that were to save the pilot and of course the nerves and skill of the pilot.
So do the tanks feed both engines at the same time or is one tank feeding the #1 engine and the other tank feeding the #2? Courious because my Army helicopter had the aft tank feeding #1 engine and the other #2. Really love your show.
Yes tank 2 feeds left engine and tank 3 feeds the right engine
wtf is that net made of it's catching a hornet at how ever many knots?
I found a patent issued in 1986 to the Dept of the Navy - US patent # 4,566,658. Obviously there were barricades before this patent. The barricade scene from The Final Countdown was apparently just something that happened during filming and wasn't staged for the film crew.
The thing about stuff like this is that it has to be somewhat elastic to avoid just destroying the aircraft. I remember hearing about rock climber who got caught with an "equipment rope" (after his regular climbing rope fell away) that was meant to be used to pull up his equipment bag and wasn't terribly elastic. He died of internal injuries, while a climbing rope would have likely saved him. Or a vehicle seat belt, which will noticeably stretch in use.
But here's the description. The swept wing creates some issues.
"Aircraft barricades are normally used as emergency devices for arresting the forward motion of a landing aircraft in a limited amount of space. Such barricades, employed on both aircraft carrier decks and land runways, typically consist of expendable webbing assemblies fabricated of interconnected nylon straps which are stretched across the path of the incoming aircraft in various configurations and attached at either end to any energy absorbing device. These straps, sometimes referred to as webbing, generally comprise the barricade vertical members which serve to engage the leading edge of the aircraft wings thereby absorbing the force of the aircraft's forward motion. Preferably these vertical strap members have been movable laterally upon wing engagement to distribute loading along the wings as equally as possible.
Modern high-performance aircraft having their wings disposed at relatively large sweep-back angles have presented difficult problems to the effectiveness of such existing webbing barricades. Due to the substantial swept-back nature of the aircraft wings, the movable vertical strap members of the aforedescribed webbing barricades have been caused to slide outward along the wings immediately upon impact frequently resulting in complete disengagement of the aircraft. While other existing aircraft barricades having webbing loops for fuselage engagement may avoid the arrestment problems caused by the swept-back wings, such fuselage-engaging barricades have not been completely satisfactory in applying safe and equalized arresting loads to the aircraft."
Well done
Another episode of Live life, taste death! 😎👍
Great analysis and discussion about this video.

If a Marine squadron is on board, do Navy and Marine pilots fly any aircraft available or does Navy only fly Navy aircraft and Marines only fly Marine aircraft? Thanks.
my dad was in delta force before joining the SEALs and trained in all aircraft type. once he had to pilot a b-2 so his teammates could parachute into north korea out of the weapons bay. also had to take an f-22 to provide close air support in an unnamed country in the pacific when his team on the ground got bogged down. he still said night time carrier landings were the scariest thing he ever did. once had to do it in a hurricane when his f-18 suffered full hydraulic failure.
@@swayzefan3600 Mom's basement getting a little claustrophobic? Your story is starting to drift left of center.
They are assigned aircraft designated to their squadron and that is their bird. They have plane captains and crews that service and maintain that airframe. The NA has his/her name on the canopy rail, the Airman has his/her name on the lower panel. So there is accountability and teamwork with each bird. It's not like a rental car place where you get to choose anything in lot B or C.
@@swayzefan3600🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@swayzefan3600 Dude, your dad is Chuck Norris?! That's so cool!
Would that jet fly again?
With the fuel state that low is there much chance of fire on a tough landing?
It's reduced, unless he hits another jet thats full of fuel....
October 1997 in the Gulf. I was an arresting gear officer on Nimitz when this occurred. Nose gear hydraulics damaged when the aircraft was launched. Could not in-flight refuel as the probe would not fully extend. Airwing did not divert to the beach. Waited too long until fuel state to low to Bingo. He was on 5 mile final when we were first notified to rig the barricade. He had to circle at altitude for us to complete the rig.
Don't feel bad Gonky, I was trying to figure out how a plane having it's own net would work as well. Awesome video as always.
Would think as part of qualifications of both the net and a plane, at least one would be done with any new model of aircraft once as this is a life and death safety system. Perhaps at port or on land but a test run. At least with the mention it was the Nimitz it is clearly an old vid with her being cut up.
The other thing to consider from the LSO's perspective is that, with the nose gear up, the AOA lights aren't going to be visible so they have to call the pass without that aid either.
Nothing but net! Victor Sierra Hotel!
