Qbicle seat warmer
I am the strange one. Fighter jets just don't look fun to me.

Whoa dude, I'll have you know that I always peed into a little baggie and only once missed real bad and pissed my seat instead (just once)!

Imagine all the work and effort to become a navy pilot and you get stuck on a Guppy
I cannot possibly imagine this being my job in the military. Like, I share so much overhead panel nerdery with them now, but I am not one of them. Can you imagine doing V1 cuts in the military? Aint nobody got time for that. Don't you put that hate on me Ricky bobby. We don't get paid enough to think about climb segments. And this is an open thought, but I wonder where they get their takeoff/landing performance from. I know where we get it in the F/A-18......from a •ing chart, in a small pocket check list, and you use a pen/pencil which the width of the drawing device is twice as large as the difference between being a 52k jet and a 54k jet. You basically just have to make believe. And none of it really matters anyway. But in a 737 it does, and they don't have ACARS or dispatchers. Sounds gross

Idle, boards, drag chute, hook, if aborting.
AB as necessary, rotate, gear, flaps, stores jett if necessary/safe/practical, if continue.

Add potential USN/USMC C-130 pilots to that list.

The real gem of this video is at 2:05.

You are surprisingly close to our TO Abort memory/boldface items (sans drag chute of course). The second one sounds nearly identical to our "loss of thrust on takeoff/landing" boldface as well, though slightly out of order

C40s, too.
I'm pretty sure there's a semi-famous Youtuber who flew F18s in a reserve squadron who never saw the boat either.
If he’s an original naval aviator who earned gold wings, he would’ve at least had to have seen the boat in a T-2/TA-4/T-45. The VP and VR folks, never see it.

I think he's talking about C. Lemoine. He flew F-18s in the Navy Reserve after transferring from the F-16 in the Air Force Reserve (or Guard for either, I don't know).

Thanks for that video, the soundtrack makes it so much better. Would the presence of a lone C-130 onboard render an aircraft carrier impotent? The nose art is classic.

I would assume so. They had to clear the entire deck on the Forrestal for it. The Herk has a 132 ft wingspan. I don't know how wide say, the USS Ford is.

Ya' know, as an "outlier," I found that to be an awesome video. Thank you!

798 was a fine ship. She was still flying in the mid 90s. I had many hours on her as a young trainee.

China released video taken from their plane. Nothing dramatic that I can tell.

Videos show both sides of US-China aerial encounter -- and highlight the risks involved | CNN
The interception of a United States Air Force reconnaissance jet by a Chinese fighter over the South China Sea last month should be seen as a potential warning of how easily, and quickly things can go terribly wrong -- raising the risk of a deadly military confrontation between the two powers...
