Going to the Boat - First Time

Here is a good birds eye view of what pilots see when they are landing on the deck of a carrier. Most Marine pilots are required to do carrier quals, as all Navy pilots are required to do. They begin with touch and go(arresting gear hook up), then proceed to catch an arresting gear wire on the ships surface. Take note of the pilots description of the moving angle deck they have to land on.... Overall, a good film clip.

If it were not for me being colorblind, I would have joined the service and become a jet pilot.


But that wasn't what life dealt me - and life goes on.

So it is cool to live life through videos like this one.

Thanks for posting it.
