Plane guard
This set me thinking, always a bad idea, do I remember an aircraft sitting on the sea with a helo six feet above and a hairy mech bashing the canopy with a monster spanner? No use the aircraft sank and the pilot with it. I wonder how that happd. A long time ago maybe the 50's
I think the Buc had an underwater facility and maybe the Vixen too but with all electric aircraft could it happen again? I did a 360 tour and I recall the naval aviators saying the drill was to stay with it, wait for the ship to go over the top and then eject. I suppose with an angled deck the waiting would not be needed
