@2ft314 First, stop acting like a punk, don't call me a F-idiot. My dad was a squardon CO, flew 250 combat missions in a A-4 in Vietnam, find another pilot whose done that. Further, he had a good friend partially "ram-strike" in 60 foot deck pitch on a rainy night in an A-7 and died on ejection. It's not as hard as they make it out, soon UAVs will be doing it remotely. If you call me a F-idiot again, don't go there. If Navy pilots are scared they don't belong there, I'd excited to at challenge.

Major props to these guys. That's like trying to thread a needle while hanging out of the car and the needle is in your buddies hand.

@LanceWinslow5 you're a fucking idiot! im sure you've done many dangerous things in your life and managed to downplay it as it was a piece of cake.. the purpose of the video and the interviews are for the civilians or non aviators to see what its like.. at the end of the day, these pilots are still flying scared or not

This looks soooo hard. But I you gotta land 'em since F/A 18s don't float.

As an old LSO, I've watched a few movies and videos of pitching deck ops recently, and can remember many times waving aircraft as an LSO in similar sea conditions, and the question keeps popping into my mind - Where is the MOVLAS (Manually Operated Visual Landing Aid System)? It was specifically designed to address situations just like this where the traditional "meatball" can't keep up with the movement of the pitching deck. Why wasn't it used?

@jaybird7324 Apparently trying to hook a steel cable onto the back of an airplane while going 200 Knots (And the carrier is going 30) while the deck is pitching side to side is easy.

I always ignorantly thought taking off and landing on an aircraft carrier was a basic easy thing, god damn was I wrong
