Found it, the most difficult, night carrier landing...
And yet pilots finish Quals with about 3-400 TT.
There really isn't ANY airport that competent pilots can't learn to operate out of safely given enough time and money.

A question for the fixed wing guys. Do they do the night carrier landings with NVGs also? Or are those lights in the image the NVG lighting?
On the helo decks, the lights have three positions, off, normal and NVG. And most night flight ops were strictly NVG. So I was just wondering if it was the same on the carrier.
That pic looks to me like overt lighting, vice covert/NVG. Whether they have a covert setting, I don't know. Am not certain if all of the aircraft on the boat are NVG? Such as E-2?
By the way, stay outta my neighborhood Mike:
Black helicopters! :
There was a news report tonight about "Black Helicopters over PHX" on channel 3.
Of course, that's what I get for watching the local news.
Well, I do fly on black helicopters.
In fact, I went from black FW to black helicopters.

No NVGs for landing and that is regular overt lighting.

Were you guys trying to set the record for the worlds shortest fast rope? I think they could have just as easily hung off the skid and dropped the remaining six inches.Well, I do fly on black helicopters.

I think that was a photo-need in order to get full helo in the pic plus the rooftop.

and what about the nav lights on that nighthawk, are they intentionally swapped in order to REALLY confuse the enemy?
We can make them any of a number of colors we want......

Eh. What's up with that? Is there some secret club house that we're missing out on?

330 stuff. There were some, umm, real self-proclaimed Ninjas on that thing.

Yeah, I can't imagine how dangerous an NVG sanitized flight deck would be for the guys on the boat.
