I know someone who used to fly for the Canadian Air Force and he would never admit this happened to him all the time. Something in his fighter pilot gene that precludes any confessions to personal deficiencies.

PS. Does the basket retract a little at around 0:44? That would be very strange.

I was thinking of that too.

I saw that happen on a 3 ship out of PI going to Diego ferrying two F-15's to Kadena! Same scenario-pilot blames the boomer for slowing down, boomer blames fighter jock for speeding up...
Anyway,180 back to PI and they wanted to foam the runway because the basket was trailing the tail by 40',hanging on by a thread.
A/C says no way! Basket was ground to a half-circle by the time we stopped.
That was the only time this avionics troop got to help change a drogue.
