A U.S. Navy Vought F8U-1 Crusader (BuNo 145357) from Fighter Squadron 11 (VF-11) "Red Rippers" crashes after the arrestor hook broke during a hard landing in heavy seas aboard the aircraft carrier USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CVA-42) on 21 October 1961, causing a fuel fire and forcing the pilot to eject.

VF-11 was assigned to Carrier Air Group One (CVG-1) aboard the Franklin D. Roosevelt for a deployment to the Mediteranean Sea from 15 February to 28 August 1961
