Landing!
What about at night on a pitching and rolling
deck?
To all my Delta Navy Pilot friends -
do you think YOU could have done such complex and challenging takeoffs and
landings?
This video was made just 6 weeks ago in the Atlantic,
just off Newport News ( Hampton Roads), Virginia .
These are the latest sea trials
of the F-35B on the USS Wasp.
They were very successful, with
74 Verticle Landings's & Standard Take Offs in a 3 week period.
The media and the program
critics had predicted that we would burn holes in the deck and wash sailors
overboard.
Neither of which happened. You
will notice a sailor standing on the bow of the ship as the jet rotates.
That was an intentional part of
the sea trials.
No catapult... No hook... Its a new
world out there!
The shape and scope of warfare
worldwide just changed.

Great shots!
This may have
been seen by some, but it's interesting film about naval aviation and the
carrier, probably filmed in 1970s. It was produced by Grumman. Since they
probably used various videos from different years, I think I caught a glimpse
of an F8, but it may have been an A7.

Where do we get such men??
Airplanes really do use Ford Starters (or how
to crop dust in Brazil)
