Ditch

Can you give us the story please.

When I was seconded to Navy, loss of engine in SE bird, you punched.

If he lost just at touch down, another story. No bolter ability and
hand on the ejection system if he didn't get at least the #4 wire.

Pretty neat dead sticking that thing.
The coolest dead stick landing (IMHO) occured on April 4, 1963 when Stu
Harrison dead-sticked an F-8 Crusader on to a carrier.
