freefallfreak 0 #26 March 15, 2002 Pt,Yeah, a bolter is when the bird misses all 4 wires. The missle apparently unloaded from the shock of the landing. You have to understand that on touchdown on a carrier is a little different than landing one on a runway. The impact is much greater, the stop is awesome and the g-forces are astronomical. If anything is not installed properly, hell, sometimes even when everything is done right, Mr Murphy steps in and things go to hell.

freefallfreak 0 #28 March 15, 2002 PT,I was not paying too much attention to details when I posted my reply to shark. I think he was playing with my head a little...lol, cause a missle does not "bolter". What you saw in Vikings attachment would be called an "incident". A bolter is a bird that misses all 4 wires. Boy, that'll teach me to read a little more carefully.TripleF "If you have something vital and it's sincere, you can communicate."
