@@fernandocastillo1972 Seems like a small price to pay considering ... The aircraft was up-side-down on impact. Proximity of pilot(s) landing to crash site. Time between impact and landing was NOT LONG! I suspect the chutes were not open long. Couple cases of beer...done. And throw one in for the canopy engineers as well.
I am sorry for your loss, truly. May your loved one rest in peace. I don't want to be insensitive, but is there any published story where we can read about the accident?
@@BradfordGuy It happened in 1968. I was six years old. He was my moms older brother. He had just graduated from flight school at Vance AFB and was assigned to the 40th Tactical Fighter Squadron at Eglin. He was in the back seat of an F-4. All we know is they were training on low level bombing runs and something went horribly wrong. We only know that because another pilot in his squadron told us. In that day, the military didn’t give families much info on how their loved one died. My grandparents were never the same. We visited the cemetery many times and they always cried. I take solace in the fact that he died doing what he loved more then anything else. Thanks for your concern and your interest.
wow... what a wonderful thing to see both pilots walking after landing from their ejection... Ejecting itself can be produce life changing spinal injuries, and landing itself has a high risk of injuries as well. To see both pilots get up and walk towards each other is fantastic. Phew! Glad they're ok. Poor Goshawk.
Ex USAF pilot here; They ejected at the last possible second . Seats normally have a drogue chute to aid in seat/man separation. Canopy goes first, so it is way back there somewhere. Probably a seat impacting near them to the right. Rear seat normally goes first in an automated sequence. rear- seater can over ride and go first. Very near being out of seat envelope parameters for safe ejection in this accident for both of of these very fortunate pilots.
Yeah, there’s in cockpit video of this out there.....v low, slow and on approach and then along came a Goshawk.....and it’s “Good Night Vienna”....just enough time to call it in and then bang out.....as close as you’d ever want to get, tbh!
Standard procedure to assess injuries and determine if medical assistance is necessary which in ejection is pretty much automatic response. The Ejection Seat is used once but that one time it is needed…nothing else will do!
Seeing the chute come down and then the white helmet pop up of a pilot who is mobile brings a wonderful feeling. I wish there were much more like this for those who brave the skies. Thank You for sharing this, WYHS. ♡
I can't imagine what it must feel like when your feet touch the ground after something like that and you realize you've just survived a potentially fatal plane crash.
Skydivers buy a bottle of top shelf liquor for their rigger when they have a successful cutaway and reserve chute ride. I’ve done that twice in 53 years of skydiving. Wonder if military pilots do something similar after a successful ejection?
me too, but they seem to have patted each other on the shoulder as they met. Conversation must have centered around one topic: "WTF was this? Did we make a mistake somewhere, or did the plane gave up the ghost in the air?"
Nice to see them walking without a limp or struggling. Ejecting is NOT the same as jumping, pilots get messed up by it sometimes depending on the situation. Served on the Nimitz, 88-89.
@@sidv4615 That was long before my tour but there were a few members that talked about it like it just happened. The 89 event was with the JFK, farging Libya...
It had enough time to roll inverted, though. But still the student's parachute didn't seem to have enough time to fully inflate. I'm guessing that the sequence is canopy, back seat, front seat.
There's another video from the cockpit and with pilot communications with ATC. They were on final approach and what looks like no more than about 500 feet altitude to me, student at the controls, when you can see a bird flying in front of them that gets ingested and causes engine failure. The instructor takes the control and notifies ATC that they're going to fall short of the runway. He barely has time to tell the student to prepare to eject when the plane stalls, goes into a steep dive and they punch out.
@@shaminoranger8588 christ! i rode a helo down in the persian gulf that had a tail rotor fail (if you're airborne, be belted in), navy trains some damn fine pilots imho. some clear-headed rapid response action here, sounds like. our military is in good hands.
Martin Baker ejection seats I believe. They have a big counter at their headquarters that counts off every safe ejection that happens from one of their products
Yep last I checked the number is over 3500. You can see it on their site. Some of the stories are amazing. Still looking for the one where the F-8 Crusader driver punched out underwater.
There was another Goshawk crash in the Dallas area I believe earlier this year (2022) where the training pilot was electrocuted by powerlines, with serious injury. This one almost got the powerlines as well coming down.
@@loganmeline9233 Ummm... instead, why don't you climb up a pole and grab a power line then come back and fill us in on what happens?? The rest of us know what Bear meant.
@@loganmeline9233 out of curiosity I did look it up. Definition of electrocute transitive verb 1: to kill or severely injure by electric shock I think you'll find "or" is the operative word here.
WOW, I was heart broken at first. But thankfully looks like both pilots survived, but good gosh, one hit the ground 10 seconds after plene augered in and the other 20 seconds. The difference of seconds.
Ten seconds under canopy is about 200 feet, so they had around one and two seconds respectively from impact when they got full deployment. My shortest ever canopy ride was about 40 seconds and that scared the hell out of me, so yeah, they're on bonus days now.
The first pilot was so close to landing on the power lines and almost on top of the fireball of the crash, that either a lot of skill or just plain old luck saved them both that day.
If your going to crash, do it in rural Texas. You will have a bunch of people out helping you. I live in Texas and I can say that Texans are the nicest people once they get out of the car. 😉😁
Outside of Texas, however, recently-ejected pilots of a crashed aircraft are invariably greeted with aggression and hostility. Only Texans would be helpful. 😆
DAMMMMMM 😵😮 THAT S AN IMPRESSIVE FOOTAGE MAN////////////////////////// IT S GOOD TO SEE THE PILOTS OUT OF THIS TERRIBLE MESS ...............................GREAT CHANNEL BRO.......AND HUGE THANKS //////KEEP THIS UP 😉
The seat separates when the chute deploys and free falls to the ground, that's why it's so damaged. You can see it impacting the ground between the crash and the crew landing
If I was the guy pulling up in the truck I don’t think I could’ve passed up a good joke opportunity, like “you guys having engine trouble?” Or “you run out of gas?”
At time stamp 17 seconds right when the camera moves something else much smaller hit the ground. Does anyone know what that was. Was it the pilot's seat I'm not familiar with aircraft but the seats detach after the parachute deploys so I'm guessing it's maybe a seat
Imagine being the poor bastard on the ground who sees the plane diving out of control and stands there, watching it crash a safe distance way as the pilots drift down in their chutes, only to get hit by the separated ejection seats.
We DEFINITELY don't thank our service men & women enough for what they do to keep us safe and protect our freedom. This is only one of the many things they practice day after day that can take their lives in the blink of an eye so....one can only imagine what iit would be like in an actual war!
Training, training, training, train like you fight, fight like you train.......there is no better military pilots than the US.....period....job well done gentlemen. well done.
Jeez that looked like a hard landing for the pilots! Glad to see that they were both up and walking and seemingly in good shape. I hope they didn’t have any lasting injuries.
If you slow down the footage and pause it at 2 min 29 sec the aircraft came in at an angle of about 50 degrees... Those people on their walk were very lucky that they weren't exactly at that spot when the aircraft hit ... Devastating impact.
The same day that god apparently decided to give their aircraft a mechanical failure. Or just perhaps they were saved by the same thing that casued the aircrafts issue - human engineering.
that only counts, if you step out after the dust has settled. if you have to abandon the craft before to avoid injury... meh main thing is that two aviators live to fly again.
That line is often quoted, but us old aviators know it is absolute bullshit. It is along the lines of, 'There are old pilots, there are bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots'. There are plenty of old and bold pilots. Bob Hoover and Chuck Yeager to name a couple. In the military before the new, kinder, softer UPT and Naval Primary flight training, many students pilots were washed out because they screwed up landings on check rides. Landing to the untrained eye may look peachy and decent. But to the check ride evaluator they were dogshit approaches all the down after intercepting the localizer. Now for certain special handling cases, thanks to social engineering purposes, they are remediating student pilots that would have been FAC boarded, put on terminal leave and given a plane ticket home.
These aviators can now claim their ties from Martin Baker and are now part of an exclusive club. The ejection seat company gives everyone who had to eject with their seat a special tie. Doubt they can wear it with their "dress uniforms".
Military pilots are trained to fly the plane into the ground if necessary. They must do their best to avoid hitting people. If they don't try to protect people on the ground they can lose their wings. A plane with a dead engine can still be controlled a while away from people. They have emergency hydraulic systems. If you've ever seen a video where a pilot waited until the last second to eject that is the reason. If pilot must crash inside a city they will try to crash it in a vertical dive into a parking lot or highway.
Interesting, initial reports were from a bird strike while on approach. Video was shown there was a bird strike. Possibly hydraulics failed to keep it up in the air for an attempted safe landing ? It appears there are two different stories.
For those in a position to film military aircraft crashes---ignore the aircraft!! It is not interesting. Stay on the crew as they eject and parachute to the ground.
The aircraft’s hydraulic system caution light appeared as the aircrew was practicing landing pattern procedures, roughly 45 minutes after takeoff. Although the crew sought to resolve the emergency, the aircraft still suffered an “abrupt and rapid right roll soon after a hydraulic system 1 (HYD1) failure,” the investigation said. The roll off happened so quickly and at such a low altitude that the aircrew had no other option but to eject.
What hits the ground on the right of the screen just a second after the airplane hits? And some other parts are seen falling too. Did this airplane come apart inflight? Anyone know if the investigation is done yet?
