Landing and parking onboard the USS Truman aircraft carrier

...from a C-2A Greyhound. Looks like a straight in due to DVs (distinguished visitors) most likely. They tend to get sick coming out of the break.

Ahhh, memories. I do miss working on the Ike's deck.

That's a lot of blue.

 

[TallFlyer]

Very cool. The AK 135 pilot in me got very nervous seeing all that water.

I better brush up on my marshalling signals before hitting a boat again...

I was a DV on the Truman in 2009. Amazing 36 hours! C.O.D. was awesome too! (Both parts)

I miss my C2 Cat and Trap. CV-63

Parking looks as hard as landing the thing. He had like five different marshallers.

I thought the same thing. Can you tell which one is a girl?

Easy, the last marshaller. Cuz at 5:18 she is wishing she was washing clothes...

They are called yellow shirts, taxi directors.

Nice. She just stood out to me because when she was directing the aicraft straight ahead she made it look like a combination of an orchestra conductor and a princess wave.

(OK)

 

[Seggy]

Looks easy to me.


ORD has more people and traffic to deal with and it's usually snowing with a 25 knot crosswind.

You're joking right? That's funny shiite...one, until you do it; two, that was an easy day at the boat.
