Remember this 80s martial arts flick centering around a CIA agent combatting a KGB agent (Muscles from Belgium playing a bad guy only once) to reach one of the downed F1-11E and its Pave Tack laser after El Dorado Canyon.

When they were testing this https://missilethreat.csis.org/missile/snark/ so many splashed into the waters around Cape Canaveral that folks referred to the area as the “Snark Infested Waters off Cape Canaveral”. Pretty funny that one, just a bit off course, ended up in the jungles of Brazil.
Sorry for the Thread Drift.

I wonder where they might have sourced that story from? Goat + Prune = 2 independent sources, right?

"Interesting reading"...Wait til he reads all the DASORs about pitot covers left on during night starts after day time walkrounds. Thrilling reads.

The quick return to flight/no grounding, would sure make sense with a simple (but costly) error.

I always wondered about that one. Was it a hot conventional (nozzles aft) landing? Was recovery at Yeovilton normally STOL?

Can we buy another F35B please? Jerry Pook must be laughing his head off at the moment. Another Navy Cock up!
