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
