My comment in post 2 was simply a reaction to the video and calling them f**wits was shorthand for persons displaying professional skills that could easily have led them to receive a posthumous Darwin award.
If the aircraft had hit harder (TR contact) or rolled more (MR contact) we could easily have been talking serious injuries or fatalities in this case - would we really still be banging on about how 'accidents happen', 'gotta make mistakes to learn' and other hoary old chestnuts to try to remove blame from the crew?
Reality check - all they had to do was land, taxy in and park - in a no-threat environment, day, nice weather, no urgent operational pressures (judging from the relaxed demeanor of the rearcrew), no other aircraft, no technical emergency (again, crew very relaxed) and between them they ripped the tailwheel off the aircraft.
If it wasn't the US Navy, would we have such defence of the crew?
