Long time F-16 crew chief, worked with a lot of the Hornet guys off the Bush when they'd divert to Turkey back in 2017. After this video, I understand some of the procedures that Naval maintainers do that seem a little "odd" when they're performed in a hard stand on dry land. Wouldn't mind shadowing a crew on a deck some day. Respect among brothers in aviation, safe travels. Also, 402 was the tail number of my last jet before I moved to the phase dock... so that is pretty neat.

I was an ABH on the Kitty Hawk and Saratoga. its been awhile for me too, but when I read all of these comments in here, both new and the older, we are all on the same page and have the same sentiments. I miss it too. Just the being out at sea and all of the scenery, and 'smells' of the flight deck, the atmosphere, the sunrises, sunsets, and the different weather, while out at sea. and then the flight ops, the box lunches, heading down to the 'Fly hole' for a break... then back up on deck, smelling Jet fuel and Diesel fuel... "Ya gotta be there", as the Ol' saying goes. But when I was in San Diego on Coronado Island at "Naval Air Station North Island" where the KITTY HAWK was, and with the west packs, and back when Hong Kong was fun, and the P.I. and it all, I kind of put this song here, as fitting for me, for my time on the Kitty Hawk, though its about submarines, It still works, for me... being up on the flight deck, late at night, on dark waters....... especially when I was up at 11 o clock at night, with just the dim flight deck lights on while we were repotting planes, the wind in my face, the ocean scent, the errie silence, though with "that sound" of the turning radar, and the faint sounds of a few tow tractors on the other end of the deck, a distant light from something, some stars to see, a faint moon glow..... But then, I changed the name of the ship in the song of course.... where the lyrics that go: "No memory, tell me what's wrong with me, why am I alone here with no rest..... and now the name of the ship's not the same, how long has it been, the Kitty Hawk...... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/adacq8Saq6uchYE.html

As a retired Marine 0369MSgt, this video brought back so many memories of a 19yo PFC getting assigned to the Marine Department, USS Enterprise CVA (N) 65 on March, 1965. From then until May, 1967 I watch flight ops from the 03 level day and night. Man what a sight to see. I remember befriending the only Marine aviation onboard for combat ops over North and South Vietnam. I'm not sure but he may have gone down during a sortie. I cannot begin to measure the amount of respect I have for all whom work on "The Most Dangerous Place To Work in the World" and that is the flight deck of a air craft carrier. As an observer from the 03; I've seen stuff down in the flight deck that would keep one up at night. A JOB WELL DONE! Semper Fi

Absolutely amazing video! Much respect to all of you Navy guys and gals. Being born and raised in a Navy town I opted for the USAF. Being a CC on F-16's it was always strange seeing so many people involved in a launch as well as the lack of direct comms with the pilot. Even during a Red-Flag exercises the Navy folks still did it this way. I can understand why as keeping ones proficiency in carrier ops is paramount. It's curious though seeing the Navy QC doing checks over the plane before taxi whereas in the AF the CC(plane captain) was the final authority. There were final checks at the EOR just prior to takeoff but they were done by everyday line personnel such as CC, Weapons or Avio. We NEVER saw QC unless there was an audit or spot check. Cheers!

Those white shirt final checkers aren't QA, they're troubleshooters. Troubleshooters (or shooters) are experienced in-platform final checkers who get pulled from the maintenance shops. They're typically E-5 with plenty of experience not just launching and recovering as final checkers, but also doing their inrate maintenance in their respective shops. The plane captain cannot be relied upon to final check aircraft because they're typically the most junior guys in the squadron.

VFA-105 was my sister squadron when I was in VFA-37 back 97-98. VFA-105 had a couple chicks in the AE shop and they were both banging the Chief of the shop and they found out about each other. It did not go over very well and I could hear the catfight all the way nextdoor in my hangar!

Brown shirt hands them off to a yellow shirt who hands them off to a crew of white and green shirts who then hands them off to the final yellow shirt, who throws the plane off the ship onto the next mission.
