ECMO 1 view of a Case 1 trap on the USS Kitty Hawk

Hal Wilkerson of http://www.TextMyFans.com/, films his view from the front right seat of a daytime trap in the mighty ole' Prowler on the USS Kitty Hawk. LSO Comments were 'a little low start, fly through up in the middle to a fly through down at the ramp for a fair skip the 3 for the 4 wire.' Not the greatest pass, but safe according to NATOPS. I'll never tell who my pilot was, but he was by far one of the best to fly with.
