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.
DEI proves it’s worth…….brilliant.
Is this the P-8 that was flown by a brave all female air crew?
There is no way this jet will every fly again, and all the electronics are toast.

If I may... Airframe corrosion is the demon... wires, boxes, hose, hydraulic lines can be replaced. Corrosion is the cancer of airframes.
Thank you my friend
I think the A- 10 is a awesome aircraft !
Almost everything you said about the P-8 was wrong.

Ha. Mechanical troubles brought the P-8 to Kanoehe.

Wasn't that an all female crew? I heard an admiral say the damage was minimal and would cost about a million to get it back in the air...........
been neat to see first re start after repairs
Lol, the liquid in the A-10 compass when the cannon fires.
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.
Westover AFB!! C-5 Galaxies
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.

I will ask I am in the VP community. This plane will fly again that was on of the first questions that came up.

@@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.

What the media and navy won’t tell you is this plane was being operated by one of the navy’s first all female crews. Progressivism doing wonders for our military 😂
Almost went to VP 63 , in the late '70's . Should've stayed in .
the bottom of the Ocean? If ran off the runway into the adjacent water. Even if the Navy had no future use of the aircraft, it would have to recovered.
I think they’re more likely to blow it to pieces so it doesn’t fall into enemy hand’s than spend all that money recovering it when it’s never going to fly again!!
This WAS NOT 2018. This was recent, 2023. I live on Kaneohe Bay and saw the aircraft sitting on the reef
VP-4. Good ol Sticky Dragons

Which ocean
That's a rather strange looking "bottom of the ocean" there.
The U.S. does recover high-tech planes that are lost at sea. We light-heartedly like to think they’re secret.
Any country that the US troops deployed, Democracy and Freedom were coming along.

Dude that helicopter 🚁 flew over my house i’m like why? their along way from home fuel expenses wear n tear. Closest base is Barks Dale Afb it’s huge not even seen one in person. I’m like aaa what’s coming windows 🪟 vibrating. Must have re fueled here. I have no clue as why they were out this far i guess burning off remaining hours. or flight time God only knows?
It wasn't on the bottom of the ocean. 🙄
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.
All female crew lost the 'off end of runway' Poseidon.
