Summary[edit]

Description
English: A U.S. Navy Grumman A-6E Intruder (BuNo 154170) from Attack Squadron 196 (VA-196) "Main Battery" making a barrier landing aboard the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN-65). VA-196 was assigned to Carrier Air Wing 14 (CVW-14) aboard the Enterprise for a deployment to the Western Pacific from 4 April to 30 October 1978. Cause of the barricade engagement was the failure of the right main landing gear to extend fully due to a broken cotter pin allowing a nut on the drag brace to tighten on each cycle of the gear. Crew was: pilot LTJG Don Conklin; navigator LTJG Jerry Nichelson.
