The aircraft lost airspeed during the failed arrested landing and made the call to eject. The Tomcat managed to recover but it was too late. The aircraft came crashing down and for a minute it looked like it was going to crash on the carrier but crashed a few hundred feet away from the port side of angle deck." | Grumman F-14 Tomcat | Facebook
