Subject: Landing on an
aircraft Carrier at night with a pitching deck
These guys are beyond
awesome. It's just short of insanity.
The
highest stress levels ( heart rate & respiration ) ever recorded have been
during carrier night landings in extreme foul weather. Watch the bolters occur
one after another and imagine yourself with a fixed quantity of fuel and
absolutely nowhere else to land except in the water.
This is very unnerving, landing with deck pitching 30 feet, at night, low on fuel. Incredible.You will never forget viewing this. I have seen a lot of aviation emails, but the two videos below are undoubtedly among the best.

Turn on
your sound and go full screen. I guarantee this will definitely hold your
attention.
These videos show the difference between Naval Aviation and any other kind. The links below are two outstanding videos about F-18 carrier flight operations aboard the USS Nimitz during weather that causes a severely pitching deck ( 30 feet up and down plus side to side ), which you can see in the videos. It's more dangerous than most combat missions and the tension in the pilots and crew is very apparent.

Watch
Part 1 first, then Part 2. Great videos.
