Hey, any trap you can walk away from is a GOOD trap, right?

My instructor told me that any landing you can walk away from
was a good one and if the plane can be used again then it was a
great one.

It's a Windows Media Player file. If you're able to play those on your
Apple outside of your browser the file can be downloaded from here:

This is the VFA-15 Valion episode on the USS John F. Kennedy during workups
for their 1997 cruise. The AP made an overly aggressive correction in the
wires, apparently forgetting SA due to a, some say, over stressful late
lineup call by the LSO. There was a discussion a while back on this when
the clip was cited on some other aviation photo site. No disciplinary
action for the pilot or the LSOs resulted. Just a bad day on the JFK.

What did they call the pilot after that ? "Twister" , "Weaver" "Zigzag"?
