      @@mikekeyloh Once dunked in seawater the airplane would be, no pun intended, washed up. Too much corrosion would happen too quickly, and even the best cleanings would still leave behind salt residue in crevices like around rivets. That's not just a concern with the airframe themselves, but also with the engines, avionics and pretty much any system that has metal. Corrosion control in naval aviation is a huge undertaking (I assume it's the same for the Coast Guard the Marine Corps), and squadrons with any reasonable chance of flying over the ocean (including land-based training squadrons, patrol squadrons, even test and evaluation squadrons) will have a group of people dedicated to preventing as much corrosion as possible. Many times at ashore facilities, aircraft that flew fairly low over the water - patrol aircraft, helicopters, and in my day, Vikings - would usually take a trip through fresh water sprayers (the "bird bath") to get most off the seawater off. It's possible the Army and Air Force also devote sizeable resources to corrosion control, since it's not just salty seawater that can be a problem.
      I would assume there would be parts that could be recovered that were at little or no risk of corrosion, but that would be such a small part of the whole that it wouldn't be worth pulling up out of deep water. The Navy _has_ recovered aircraft from the bottom before, though. It's mostly been done as part of accident investigation (and I would assume that even then there would be water so deep it wouldn't be worth the effort), but I know that early in the F-14's history one was pulled up from the bottom because it had ultra-sophisticated Phoenix missiles on it, and the concern that Soviets might like to take a look at them.

  • @ColeyDuncan
    @ColeyDuncan 3 роки тому +70

    I operated and maintained barriers in the USAF, but Navy systems on carriers have always been fascinating to me. It's a completely different system and setup, and the reset time is incredibly fast. Not to mention how much more energy is involved in engagements by Navy pilots, at sea or on land. Almost every time we would catch a Navy bird, we would have to replace the cable or tape, sometimes both, because they want the cables up on the approach end at high speed, with tires barely on the tarmac.

      I wouldn't call this calming. But I prefer a voice like this sometimes. Confident and full of authority and genuine concern. He was in the plane with the pilot emotionally and even had urgency in his voice, which shows empathy. A key element in allowing one to trust and feel another human being. If an LSO like that told me to do something I'm likely to trust him before my fight or flight instincts/reflexes. That's a powerful thing.

    Man if you all were impressed with this, let's just say this isn't even skimming the top of the cake. I was a USN aircraft carrier sailor for 6 years and it was the most intense, glorious and fulfilling years of my life. This guy is right, things like this are rare, but bad things do happen and Lord knows they happen often enough. Movies and media hide the dirt and grit of what it's like being a sailor on a modern warship, a carrier especially. Much of the emphasis on the aircraft and not the miracle of machinery, engineering and man made miracles it takes to keep a ship of that size functioning.
    Most of his content is correct.jist two point i want to expand on briefly. Modern carriers have 4 wires. Period. Always, unless something has changed with the newest class. Pilots aim for the #3 wire if I recall correctly. Also, the angled flight deck has more to do with launching then it does for where barriers. Modern angle deck carriers can launch up to 3 aircraft simultaneously with a 4th within seconds after the angle is cleared.
    Aircraft do NOT land on the angle deck. They still hit wires and go straight just like the old times. Difference now is arresting technology is better. Stronger cables, better tail hooks and hydraulic breaking on the arresting cable shortens the braking distance.
    Yea I can keep going but I don't feel like writing a book lol.

      In the F-14 if the canopy doesn't jettison it won't arm the main seat rocket. If the plane is in a flat spin it can mess up the ejection timing causing one or more of the crew to hit the canopy after it is jettisoned. In that case they are trained to yeet the canopy with a separate control that doesn't activate the seat motor then activate their seats. A lot of newer planes shoot the pilot through the canopy the seat is designed to shatter the canopy on its way out.
