Russian Carrier Approach

@Freefalling , figured you'd enjoy this.

Avala-112, Paddles: 1/4 mile, on glide path, call the ball.

Roger, ball. Watch this shit!

I've seen that before and honestly thought t was a Photoshop or something...the still photos at least. His hook bounced/ skipped two or three times....Can you imagine if it had caught at that angle of attack/ pitch? Or if the plane had stalled?

Negative Ghost Rider, you are not cleared for a landing, come around idiot, come around...

Crazy, but judging by the Russian vehicle accident videos online, I'm not surprised at this.

If he'd caught the wire at that attitude, he might have had an "in flight engagement" as naval aviators call it. Not good.
