If an Orion did anything around 7gs I'm glad it didn't break apart on the recovery (sort of like that C-130 fire fighting aircraft did a few years back). Like ExAF said - if the facts are accurate in this story I'm glad everyone walked away from this experience with nothing more than a damaged airplane!

Wow! Great job by the crew. I flew Herc's for 10 years before this assignment. I can't imagine doing a 5 turn spin in P-3.

ExAF – You seem skeptical, but I also received a few pic’s to back up this story. However, since I cannot post pic’s on this form, I’ll see if I can renew an old account at Airliners.net and post them there sometime tomorrow evening. I’ll post another link here when I do.

I would rather be lucky than good anyday.

Tweet & Phantom
ExAF:
Tweet was 1000; Phantom was 10,000 minimum to recover from entry. I never flew hard-wings, so I never got that close....but had to unload many times to prevent it!! |
I saw some pics forwarded through channels today. HOLY...!

Stick forward, Maintain 3-8 units AOA...

Shamu - Thanks for posting the pic's, I been meaning to do it but had little time these last few days. What started as a 4-day trip turned into 6 thanks to ASA scheduling.
