@cff121 Yeah... that wasn't a very good landing. I was just trying to get a video up in a hurry. I was new to the aircraft then. I'm a lot better now. I have well over 100 hours in the bug and I follow actual procedure.
@franthree Thanks a lot! The thing with Naval aircraft landing on carriers though is that rather than flaring on landing, you should maintain an angle of attack which for the F/A-18E is 7 I believe. I was actually really shallow on the AOA. I appreciate your comment :)
Man you were lucky that wasn't a ramp strike
