Maybe it was the same C-130 outputting too much fuel-pressure? It says the other incident was caused by the same issue.
If Foundations is the magazine of the Museum, then yes, it was in there, as well as "The Hook", "True". "Argosy", "Readers Digest", "Approach"and a couple of others. I was also a guest on the TV show "I`ve Got A Secret" You young guys never heard of that one or the host, Garry Moore I`m guessing. That was my 15 minutes of fame. I`m an old retired air line pilot now, spending my time riding motorcycles and taking naps.
Awesome recounting of the whole incident (and the previous one) in this book, "The Second Luckiest Pilot". A great overall read!

Well, that begs the question, who is luckiest pilot? And where does Mr. Bush fall in that category of bailing next to the Japanese island only to be picked up by a sub?
Ever read "Fly Boys"? If he was captured he probably would not be here today.

^^ I witnessed a Prowler flight deck ejection at night with similar results. One guy lands mid deck, one dangling off the catwalk mere feet above the water, and one recovered from the water. Jet drove off the side and was last seen floating past the LSO platform upside down with the gear sticking up.
