@scarletchoose "Air Boss Johnson: When are you going to stop those jockey's doing a fly-by on my tower at over 400 knots. I want somebody's butt, I want it now, I've had it! "
What you don't see is everyone on the deck laughing and saying "Oh that Micheal, such a kidder" By the 5th time the joke starts getting a little old however.
That must of been almost impossible to land. And you have to realize that they can't try this over and over again, because even if tankers are there to refuel, they will run out of gas eventually. A good and quick decision by the pilot none of the less, but very very dangerous.
ya but you actually power up after they touch down, not right before because you miss the wire if you power up before you touch down.. you usually feel the wire catch then you power up incase you either a dont stop or b the wire breaks
served 4 years on the USS coral sea as a cat operator i was on the flight deck the whole time i tell you what the adrenaline is non stop the danger is everywhere its been 20 years since i served and i still miss being on the flight line
sorry to burst your bubble but the only thing officers do on cats is push the button (today) back then ABE's did and no officers are not cat operators but yes only pilots are LSO
Whether you were a "former VF-84 jockey" or not (and whether you're to be believed or not for that matter) doesn't matter a damn if you're an American attempting to pronounce a French word. However, either way is acceptable. The average American says "frez-null." Cultured Americans (particularly those that take the time to study a foreign language instead of flunking through school or doing the bare minimum with Spanish) and the rest of the world says "freh-nell." Your choice jockey.
And from the sound of it, nobody likes *you*. Go play with your Pez dispensers or pick the legs off of spiders. You apparently can't handle passive humour.
hahaha will do. I love my Pez dispensers. I haven't found any problems yet with my sense of humor, but thanks for lookin' out! See you on the ground (from the air)

That's a split second thing and a real butt cincher. I think right before they land they run up the engines in case they will have to do a bolter.

Thick fog.
Good decision by the pilot.
meridianwolf 3 years ago 2
Nope. The decision to wave off would have been made by the LSO on the flight deck.

I just thought it was a little late for anyone but the pilot to make the decision.
But you're probably right.
