Anyone who has worked the flight deck will feel the hairs stand up on their neck with that Intruder Intake video. I've seen it many times and it still terrible. That might have happened when I was in (85-91) but not VA-85 thankfully.
Happened on Roosevelt in 91 on Cat 4. I was in Ready 1 sitting the alert and watched it happen on the LLTV. He was on the ships TV the next day, still pretty deaf. Lucky lucky guy.
You folks that worked the flight deck day and night in good weather and bad deserve a whole lot of credit. I went up there during flight ops only to get to the jet and then via the most direct path!
