A-6 crash after launch?
They had some footage of some cat launches gone wrong. In one an A-6 took
off the waist catapult of a carrier and started losing altitude almost immediately. Then something really big fell off the plane, it started to roll, and the pilots ejected at very low altitude. The pilot was Rick "Twig" LaBranche, who is now a CDR and has the distinction of being the CO of the last operational Tomcat squadron (VF-31 flying F-14Ds at least until September). _____________ José Herculano
