I love the part about "if something does go wrong the crash crew is always standing by".  Trust me that was more propoganda than a safety brief. But there is nothing like bagging day traps.

Now I'm ready to make carrier landings.    Should be a breeze in a Mooney landing with about 10kts GS.  Ship 25kts, wind speed 15kts 40kts airspeed on the deck 50 to 60kts IAS landing.  Who needs a stinking hook?

 

Did you notice the AOA in the display and the constant comments regarding AOA?

10,000 feet most of the time but not often perfectly flat

 

However, after de-brief you can drink and flirt in the O'Club (once called a stag bar) and sleep in your own, non rocking, bed.

Bad acid flashback. Fantom- for the record, we had our own beds... Just so happened you share a room....
