An incredible landing when the A7 slammed into the fantail, slid down the angle deck to end of deck, and the naval aviator, after ejecting, returned to land back on angle deck, blown by wind towards back of ship where he and his parachute were stopped by the landing gear of a parked Tomcat on port side elevator! He walked away so this is considered a good landing.
