[simpits-tech] Navy Way

[Ben Clark]

My theory behind all this is that the pilot pickled the missile but got a 
misfire and the missile was left on the pylon. Having pickled the missile 
would the clamps not be disengaged? If so when he came into land it simply 
slid off the pylon. The smoke trail may be caused by the missile fins 
running along the carrier deck, although the way the smoke flows it looks 
like it has been ignited.

The heavy weighting can be explained by boundary layer air. All moving 
things in a wind have this property but it is generally only noticed on 
aircraft. This essentially creates a vacuum which would the suck the smoke 
down. Another theory would be due to gravity with smoke particles being 
heavier than air.

Either way its funny as hell especially the guy with the white helmet 
running like hell. What makes the white guy even better though are some of 
his possible roles:-
Air wing quality control personnel,
Squadron plane inspector,
Safety Observer
