@paleblack1989 no she couldn't have. A rookie nugget asked to do a night landing with a pitching deck and swells of +\- 30 feet is asking for trouble. As her CO, Sex is responsible for Cone's safety - not to mention the $56 million jet! He also mentions he has "some pilots that I worry about" and judged that Cone was not ready for such a demanding situation. It was a good call on Sex's part.

the top gun bullshit has people thinking carrier landings are easy and it takes one go every time.

@paleblack1989 It's not that she's a woman, it's that she's a nugget and would've been up there with a pitching deck at night with no tanker and no bingo field. You don't do that to a junior pilot.

How long is it supposed to be 20 min?

If they had VTOL F-35's this would be so much easier.

@m1keand1ke you mean naval aviators. Pilots are lesser people.

I never had a pitching deck at nite
just day time - even more pitch than this video -
so much that the LSO told us to IGNORE THE BALL !
my heart is pounding watching this video and recalling that day - and that was in 1976!
hats off to the pilots! (and all support crew!)
semper fi !!
