Down To The Wire (1970) Carrier Landing Training

[DIJV79]

I can't even imagine the deaths and safety accidents that went on during this time. Especially during flight quarters.

You will never conquer the sea, its secrets are unknown to man.

At 7:24 there....can anyone understand what these guys are talking about? Is that some sort of '70s hep-cat lingo? LOL

Thank you Airboyd.

F-4 B/Ns, RA-5Cs, SH-2s, A-4Es, my good this is a treasure trove!

Looks like an Atlantic fleet carrier based off the squadrons present.

There's one sequence I like most about this video: the one where they talk about carrier landings after having had their 10th beer (minutes 13-14)...

I missed the first four minutes because the music was just so groovy I had to boog-a-loo.

which aircraft are these ???

[AntonIshkabibble]

@salmanpakipaki They are T-2C Buckeyes, which were built by North American Aviation. I think that the US Navy stopped using them as training aircraft around 2004-2005. They were replaced by the T-45 Goshawk training jet aircraft.
