Hea SW, Truthfully I have no idea. I was a snipe and was only allowed to come up for air when we would start turning yellow. That whole COD trap thing was a total blurr, like some kind of twilight zone episode. On our final approch, you know, the big left hand turn, the seat felt like it was falling out from under me. The Nimitz looked like a tiny rectangle with white spots on it, ah yea they were aircraft right? Well we were falling out of the sky like a brick when BOOOOM we traped the 3rd wire, perfect they say. The only thing I can tell you about that aircraft is there was a boatload of rivets missing from under the wing and hydrolic oil was pumping out of the starboard strut. That is when I lost my legs. They hooked my bootcamp stiff seabag arround my sholder and dragged me to the island. It must have been halarious for them. Looking back it is pretty funny. Fair winds and following seas to ya!
