+Soulfreak 6,529 Posted July 29, 2011 It is. but don't know yet what force and when or where German Navy! It was in 1984, May 23rd. AC: 26+74 (c/n 7420) In 1984 a German Marine F-104 had water contact and escaped unhurt. The pilot was on a practice weapon delivery pass on a target in the water, towed by a ship. During the strafing pass he got distracted and misjudged the delivery parameter like dive angle and minimum delivery altitude. He fired the gun at a point where he should have been already in the recovery. During the recovery the APC (Automatic Pitch Control) fired twice and made the situation even worse. The tail of the Starfighter did hit the water and the drag chute compartment was ripped off and even the chute deployed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
