Cool indeed. Some folks don't realize just how easy, in a sense, taking off is for the pilot. As I recall...12degrees + nosewheel trim and hands off the controls..at least until they clear the deck...and the thing will take off on it's own. Landings...eh, I will leave that to the pilots; I was just a backseater for Hornets. Night landings. I did one, but would have to break my vow of never getting drunk to do it again. NFW.

Thanks Apex......I had not seen those videos.
You can take all the "dangerous jobs" TV shows and put them in a baby carriage, compared to a carrier flight deck.
Pilots and deck crews are in CONSTANT danger....and when it's "night ops", you can compound the danger by a factor of 5.
Discipline, teamwork and raw fricken' guts, make America's Air Navy the toughest, most capable, war machine on the planet.
I'm with feddoc....night landings always presented me with the feeling that I was about to be history.
You don't need a parachute to skydive.
You do however, need a parachute to
skydive.......twice.

Can you see how much that deck is pitching? Holy crap I don't know how those guys do it.
I thank those guys for all they do and the many sacrifices they make to keep us free.
