This became my silly wish when I was a 9 yr old girl and got to tour the USS Antietam with my 2 Navy uncles in Pensacola. Also got to see the Blue Angel F-4 Phantoms parked outside the hangar. What a day that was!

It was my experience that all the pilots I directed followed directions well. However, one time we were inspecting Alert Birds before they re-entered the alert pad after a Cocoa exercise. I was holding the aircraft in position while the crew inspected his tires (because they Cocoa at near max takeoff weight). The pilot wasn't paying attention and started to roll, with guys in front of the gear. I ran in front of the aircraft giving the brakes signal. He jerked to a stop. That was one incident that drove home the reality of being around these moving aircraft. One other occasion a pilot was on the radio with the tower instead of paying attention to me on the ground on interphone and started rolling with me directly in front of his tires. I had to push off the tires to get out of the way. My partner was giving him the brakes signal but he was talking to tower and not to us. If my back had been turned he might have ran me over.

I always find myself a bit nervous watching the carrier landings. Watching this video made me appreciate the pilots and deck crew even more. I'm so proud of our military whether it's 100 years ago or present. Stay safe!!!

I was originally going in for this exact job (was going to request F-18's too) and go into Officer Candidate School after college in 98, then 99, then 2000. I ran into univetsity problems that I never though would happen and took longer to finish the almighty Bachelor's Degree. Then my eyes went bad, so I never applied. At least you made it.

I was a Brown shirt and a Green shirt with VFA-81, It is nice to see it from pilots view. My father was a fighter pilot also. So many exciting times and bad times on the flight deck. Working on aircraft at night and bad weather sometimes all the way up to launch bar hookup and engine run up. Thinking back being up in a wheelwell checking hydraulics with the aircraft runup for launch seems kind of scary now. At night I had to trust they would not launch until I came out with the thumbs up. This was back when they had A-7Es, I wonder if that would be considered safe today.

Trained all the original F/A-18 pilots 1984 through 1991 in the WTT's, OFT's and PTT's at NAS Lemoore, USMC El Toro, and NAS Cecile Field. All the A's now retired and so should the B's but the training RAG still using them I assume. Trained the Australian, Spanish, Kuwait, and other pilots as well. CV-64 Connie was the first cruise and she is retired now also. CV-41 Midway stationed off Japan is now a museum, even the Big E is gone. Can't believe they are still making Hornets with F's and G's and a 60 year old actor as Maverick is back again. I got in trouble back in 1986 when I dubbed the Top Gun theme song from Kenny Logins into an aerobatic flight routine recorded for flight simulator use and weapons tactics trainer use; not authorized by NAVAIR, and COMLATWINGPAC had it removed. And now every pilot in the fleet is posting carrier opsec videos from the cockpit. What a different world.

My dad was stationed on the Lincoln at one point and now my husband is a DOD contractor who did her overhauls in dry dock while she was home ported at PSNS. My dad is a retired CWO5 nuke but I always loved going on tiger cruises and seeing the air shows. Neat to see this from inside the cockpit. I’ll never forget the deck crew giving us dependents a very stern talk about never jumping onto the plane lifts when they were lowering.

Craziest thing about this is how "normalized" it appears. Yes, it is pretty awesome to see jets taking off. As a civilian without much exposure though, it is a far more down-played version of what we see in a movie...obviously. Just really cool to see how precise and "clinical" something as awesome as sling-shotting planes off a runway actually is...

Naval pilots must be the finest pilots on Earth. They don't get to have 10,000' runaways, or miles of taxiways. Their landings have to be within just 10s of square feet. Imagine landing an aircraft and immediately going to full throttle in case there's a mishap and you have to take off again without a catapult! (Edited for addition) And it must be a massive relief to finally get shot off the deck and get in the air. Also, we shouldn't forget the deck crews, all of them literally putting their lives in danger while working in and around running aircraft including prop-driven aircraft like Hawkeyes and helicopters as well. If it weren't for them, none of those aircraft would get airborn!

Stop your bickering, children. You all know damn well that the RAF and RN would clean you up each and every time, as they have done year in and year out for the last 7 decades. The only thing US Navy pilots are good for is joy riding in an A6 in Italy against regulations, killing 25 people in a cable car, and then fleeing the country to escape prosecution.
