    I’ve got so much respect for pilots. Been a jet engine mechanic for 20 years but never learned to fly, much less off a carrier. You guys have to aviate, navigate and communicate all at once. I salute you and your brothers and sisters sir!

      @ honestly it spoiled me. I was an airframer for a long time before moving to propulsion. No more skydrol or toilet water. I travel for the job which has its highs and lows. Ultimately work is a 4-letter word and I think it comes down to finding something where you enjoy the actual job and can tolerate the BS. Good luck chasing down your dreams!

      On large civil airliners the nosewheel can be a long way back behind the pilot seats. Doing a 180 degree turn on a smaller runway, particularly when there is a sheer drop or water can be really scary as you are actually over the edge of the runway as you turn! Also, there is no tug to push you back if you screw it up! Some modern aircraft actually have cameras so you can see where the nosewheel is, but on slightly older aircraft we had to eyeball it and trust to the geometry we were taught in training.

      You know, I spent years working on the decks of carriers. I knew our pilots had to have tremendous courage to do what they do. But I never thought about that until you said that. They’re looking down at cat walk and water before they’re making the turn. Requires more courage and bravery than I had to be in the cockpit !

      Yes they do ! Unfortunately I’ve seen a lot of shipmates get seriously hurt or even worse. The place I worked , the navy trains student pilots. I assure you there’s no other pucker factor I’ve experienced than the student pilot coming in for his or her first ever carrier landing. These ‘kids” for the most part are absolutely amazing. They look like they should be sitting in Mrs. Johnson’s math class but no, they’re flying multi million dollar aircraft onto a floating match box! I was in this career field for 24 years and I’m still amazed at the jobs the navy pulls off with this operation! They do controlled crashes day and night over and over. God bless them for what they do for us.

    A jam is always a great start to a weekend. When you grabbed the handle my mind was saying "that's not a signature move" a second before you said it. I love that I've been watching you long enough to know the difference! I have that same type of handle in my car and haven't been able to grab it for a couple years now without saying "signature move" in homage to you. 🤙

    Such an awesome video. So much concentration and skill needed to land on essentially a floating parking lot in the middle of the ocean. I grew up in San Diego watching the Blue Angels out at Miramar NAS (back when it was Navy). Navy pilots will always be the best. Fly safe and look forward to the next jam!

    Man I LOVE your videos. They are just so incredible to see it basically from your perspective and the voice overs are a great add on. You Helped me land on the carrier in DCS from your breakdowns

    Pail, Sir, I kid you not when I say that by watching your videos, I feel like I can jump into a jet right now and fly it! I know that's nowhere near correct, (because if it was easy, everybody could do it), but such is the level of your teaching skills, including demonstration in that fluid and calm instructors voice, that even at my advanced age, (I'm 61 years young), I feel like I'm one of your students in fight school.
    Bravo Zulu, Sir!
    FLY NAVY!!

    As a technician that helped assemble, align and test all of them for our battleships it makes me smile when I get to see them in action!

    Informative video, thanks. PLM makes trapping a lot easier. Back in the day all the A-4 had to assist was an auto-throttle, but I never used it... manual ball flyer! The pucker factor taxiing up to the edge of the deck and seeing the water below I am sure has not changed!
