The A-6 Partial Ejection, was not really a partial ejection. The B/N. did not intend to Eject.

The KA-6D in the picture had some kind of Malfunction, Which caused the Ejection Seat to deploy partially.

The B/N's seat shot up but stopped, and the B/N was caught half in and half out. The Parachute deployed, and got tangled on tail of the Intruder.

Other than scratches, The B/N was unhurt. But it could have been a lot worse.

I have Coffee table book that is filled with Carrier Crashes, Cold Shots, Ramp Strikes, and other things, and that is in it.

I was on shift for these two photos. HangarCrash and Jetcrash. They are the same aircraft. The plane was in the hush house doing a burner run when the incident happenend. The hold back tool was improperly installed and when they snapped to burner the first time the hold back tool let loose. Sent the aircraft hard over to one side and right out the hangar doors. The hangar doors cross member is the only thing that kept the aircraft from dropping all the way on its nose.

The guy running the engines was stuck in the aircraft. The guy along for the ride in the WSO seat got out. It was his first ever burner run experience. Minor bumps and bruises is all that happenend to them. Well other than the engine run guy who got busted for failing to ensure the hold back tool was properly installed.

That incident was just the first of 5 incidents in the same year at that base. Had one flat spin coming off a tanker in Las Vegas. Plane departed twice. Once at 15k and again at 5k. Aircrew recovered just above 5k and the plane departed again. Pilot ejected safely. Had a 8 month old plane crash on landing at home base due to a failed gear mechanism coming back from that same Las Vegas trip.

Then we had the most tragic incident where we lost 2 aircrews flying in severe weather. They were trying to pull out of a mountain range in a heavy cloud layer and smashed into the top of the mountain. Both aircrews died.
