winters1234567890 you can't be a shooter unless you go to officers candidate school and become a pilot. If you join the US Navy and want to become a Yellow shirt and Direct aircraft on a fixed wing carrier you must go to A school in lakehurst new jersey (if AB school is still there) or strike to be a ABH (which i did) and prior to that i went to airman apprenticeship program. If you want the flight deck go to V-1 Air or you will be in the hanger with V-3 division. V-1 is whee the action is.

besides, why be in front of the plane when it's taking off... when you could be under it.

I love F18s... I've always wanted to fly one...

[MiizStY]

Kinda sounds like the F-18 farted lol

[Belgimexahoman]

@AintLifeGarand The pilot has a selector switch for trim position that he sets up before he taxis to the cat. All the other movement is done by the pilot though.

Was that farting noise from compressor whine?

[AintLifeGarand]

@AintLifeGarand ...and Marine People. Forgiveness, please.

[AintLifeGarand]

...excuse my ignorance, but under category 'Gee-Whiz-Bang', I notice at 2:04, the tail and wing flap adjust into a final resting place before launch. Is the stick held in a certain position, or does the pilot push an 'Auto-position' switch? Awesome.

I love you Navy People. THANK YOU for that which you do. Well. Around the clock. Every day.
