Viking goes in the drink

USS Constellation
..

Viking went over the side.. pilots recovered. Seems the landing went ary.. 'hydralic' failure.. pilots ejected into the water. one pilot injured.. other walked outta the rescue chopper.
The price of Freedom is the willingness to do sudden battle, anywhere, any time and with utter recklessness...

...at home, or abroad.

" pilots recovered."

S-3 Viking?

It has a 4 man crew. What about the other 2?

I was a jet engine mech on 'em when I was in during the early '80s for VS-32.
