    Also, you might want to check your information for accuracy. I served in VP-47 in 1980-1983. The squadron didn’t display “YD” on the tail. Our aircraft (P3C’s) had “RD” and our nickname was Rubber Duck. YD was another squadron that has slipped from my memory. So, I call BS on your complete story. The P8 shown in this video over shot the runway by the female pilot. And I think this is a VP 4 aircraft.

    If I may... Airframe corrosion is the demon... wires, boxes, hose, hydraulic lines can be replaced. Corrosion is the cancer of airframes.

    I was a loadmaster on C130's in the USCG, those triangles wooden ramp things at 14:39 looks amazing! We did not have that when I was in (retired 2015), is that a recent loading tool or has the Airforce always had them and USCG was just unaware of it and so we don't have it. That could have made a lot of vehicles I have loaded so much easier.

    According to the story, that airplane had mechanical troubles while on patrol and ended up in Kaneohe Bay. The airplane ended up in Kaneohe Bay not due to mechanical troubles. The airplane overshot the runway due to pilot error. If I am not mistaken, this P-8 was being flown by an all female crew. And just in case anyone is wondering, this airplane was recovered, but will never fly again. When it went into the bay, the airplane became a total loss and will be scrapped.

    @@Iang343 I am retired now (as of 2016), but I worked for the company that built that airplane. I worked in fleet support at the end of my career, mostly on 737, and participated in many surveys of damaged airplanes around the world. This airplane would not have even been surveyed by Boeing in my experience. We would have scrapped that airplane. I would add that this opinion is based on my experience in commercial aviation. Maybe the navy has different criteria for salvaging military airplanes than in the commercial world. Once salt water gets between the skin, stringers and frames, there is no way to guarantee that you removed it all. There is not a structural AR/DER that would sign that airplane off for return to service.

    You have really great videos and I love to watch them. My complaint is they are all the same; a scene opens up with 2 lines of dialogue at the bottom. By the time you reach the end of the dialogue, if you get to finish, there is no time to take in the video. I want to listen to a speaker while I watch the video. I hold a master's degree from a 😅major university and am a voracious reader. I am also a 23 year veteran of 2 of our armed forces. Because of this flaw in your productions, I am becoming an unsubscriber.
