Dam, lucky SOD, sorry we lost the aircraft.
ouch, that was hot ! glad that the pilot is ok.
Do one actually have to sign in to see that video???

Don't know, I didn't. 'Course I signed up with the site a while ago while still on active service.
I was unable to view this video on military.com, but found it on youtube. from what I read in the comments (not the best source of info granted) but the pilot was badly injured when he hit the tail on his way out of the plane, breaking his arm and neck. I do hope he recovered well after that one.
And the Corsair was no more... That brings a tear to the eye...
