A/C diverted ashore. • June 1970, F-8U • Bureau Number: 150678 • Pilot's name: TRIONE • Description of accident - Nose gear failure during carrier arresting landing; nose gear, inner barrel and tire ware observed to continue up angle deck and enter water. • Title: Film record of an F-8J mishap aboard wing down landing aboard USS BON HOMME RICHARD (CVA-31) • May 1970, F-8J • Bureau Number: 150859 • Pilot's name: LCDR C.R. COLLICOTT • Description of accident: This accident is significant in that it is the first F-8J wing down arrestment aboard a carrier. The F-8J NATOPS recommends an approach at 17 units angle of attack, resulting in a speed of about 160 KIAS for a 22,000 pound aircraft. The pilot flight-checked the aircraft (23,400 pounds) at 17 units but the corresponding speed was 210 KIAS. In order to reduce the approach speed, the pilot flew at 19 units with a resultant 180 KIAS. The additional weight should have increased the speed by only 5 knots. The accident board has recommended further investigation into the F-8J wing down characteristics. • Title: F-8J mishap aboard USS BON HOMME RICHARD (CVA-31) • May 1970, F-8J • Bureau Number: 150888 • Pilot's name: CDR A.L.
