Damn, that pilot knows his stuff. This happened on my grandfathers carrier in the Korean War...except the guy went into shock and slowly sank. He said the pilot didn't eject, didn't get out, he just sat there.“Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are." - Benjamin Franklin

Lol, I've seen worse. While with VAW-120 and 110 we would go on what we called DET (detachment). I was a trouble shooter and then a final Checker. The new E-2C Hawkeyes and C-2 Greyhound pilots would land the craziest way. They trained mostly on a simulator and then did a lot of shore flying before going on a flattop. That was when the props had four blades. Lol

For those not in the know, the pilots are trained for this as well as the flight deck crew are taught to stay well clear of the foul line.
It happens. Although I'm sure there is a sufficient pucker factor.
I deck launched in a C1 once. They sunk below the flight deck level when they did that. It is an odd feeling.
