THAT is absolutely incredible. Not to start a Navy pilots versus AF or anything like that (but my dad was in the Navy for 26 yrs so I am partial!) these guys are true aviators...I would cr** my pants having to do that!

Yeah, I remember those days...Not as a pilot, but working on the flight deck with the ship rocking that bad.

You can watch the entire Carrier series on Hulu.com. Quite informative. The CO of that 18 squadron is my hero. Watch what he does on his last launch, actually the last of his career.

Man that was a great video. Those pilots are very skilled at what they do. I really enjoyed it....

Great videos. I can vividly remember how young the guys were who worked on the flight deck. Often, while preparing to launch, I recall looking down into their eyes and felt extremely honored that they were putting so much of themselves into making my mission successful. In many respects, their jobs were far more dangerous than mine. This was a very intense period in my life that defined so much of what I am and how I think today.
