These videos are both 10 minutes in duration, so watch them when you have the time.  However, this is the most incredible aviation video I have ever watched. I have always said that the people I have the greatest respect for are the carrier pilots who land at night – that’s what this is all about!!  Landing on a 10,000’ runway (typical Air Force landing for fighter pilots) pales in comparison to this. Note: there are some Air Force pilots training for carrier Qualification



This is very unnerving, landing with deck pitching 30  feet, at night, low on fuel.  Incredible.  You will never forget  viewing this.  I have seen a lot of aviation emails but the two videos  below are undoubtedly the best.  Turn on your sound and go full screen.  I guarantee this will definitely hold your  attention.

These videos show the difference between  Naval Aviation and any other kind.  The links below are two outstanding 
videos about F-18 carrier operations aboard the USS Nimitz during weather that  causes a severely pitching deck, which you can see in the videos.  It's  more dangerous than most combat missions and the tension in the pilots and  crew is very apparent. Watch Part 1 first.  Great 
videos
