Landing in the dark on a moving object. Amazing!

[@berserkerkev_666]

Now imagine it at stormy seas with sh*tty weather conditions... even better!

[@walidamaach6184]

There's light's like airport runway to know where to land exactly 💯

[@joelangley7974]

I might be wrong but it’s probably easier landing at night, only the deck visible so no sea as a distraction

[@Pappy7064]

@@joelangley7974 you would be wrong....way wrong

[@davo1093]

Hats off to all these sailors!!

[@mtsilvagt]

Naval aviators are the superbadassed of the badass !!

[@granth8487]

was VFA-81 ordnance. I can almost smell the fuel. thanks for posting.

[@geraldchesnut2017]

Watching night carrier flight ops with Bob Seger music loudly in the background.......it don't get better than this.........

[@Dra741]

Watching these aircraft launch is more exciting then the new Navy Flying Saucer, they don't make any noise

[@christianrosa1120]

Wish it showed the little visibility we actually get working there at night

[@caliado]

Wow you can really see the after burners at night, glad to know the F35 doesn't require after burner. Still cool

[@zamardii12]

That was awesome.

[@AiirSource]

zamardii12 indeed!

Unbelievable. The navy should run lotto tickets for a group of winners to hang out on vultures row. The money could be spent on the crew and families. Thinking about those that get hurt on the job. I will by tickets. Tell Donald “I approve of this idea.”

Very incredible and impressive and thank you

And goodbye!

Ahhh the memories ...division v1 fly 1 2002 to 2006..

[@kenton6098]

Looks like scenes out of Star Wars. For the B, D, E, etc. variants. I guess that makes a wizzo a Chewie!

[@allgood6760]

Awesome 👍

[@gabihanriot]

Wow!

[@ridered7262]

Damn that's some skill.

[@captainnice9698]

Superman was the man of steel, these pilots must have NERVES of steel. You have to, to fly a jet aircraft in the complete darkness relying only on your instruments (no lights over the ocean) AND sometimes in rain.

[@berserkerkev_666]

And if they're on war times, avoiding enemy radars and/or even worst, landing on Stormy seas with giant waves, night time and an Aircraft carrier moving like an rc toy

[@juice7136]

I wonder if the Ship’s speed gets a boost while the plane is stationary, maybe 1 or 2 knots speed increase or something.

[@michaelmappin4425]

Probably not much, but I was always curious myself. I once asked the skipper on Ronald Reagan to let me do an experiment with the high power chains (holdbacks for engine testing). He wouldn't allow it. They actually used to line up prop planes in the Korean war to assist with maneuvering.

[@FD1CE]

Why the FA-18 at 0:27 used afterburner for take off?

[@IntelTV]

They all do...they're taking off on 300ft...

[@berserkerkev_666]

@@IntelTV yup, sometimes even less, depending on the aircraft carrier class and size

[@michaelmappin4425]

It's not true that they all do. It depends on weight. The one you're talking about happens to be a tanker so it's heavy enough to need combat power.

[@KullioLuu]

I only want to fly only night time ❤ 0:20☺️

[@sedatakcay9981]

F 18 çok güzel uçak :)

[@GamezforNoobz]

F-18 feels like a naval F-15

[@zoobyzoob]

I get the same feeling. I wonder how their performance compares. I think I heard somewhere that the F-15 is more maneuverable.

[@granth8487]

Stliger perhaps. but the 15 isn't carrier based and multi role. We'd go from sick wing fighter to bomber in 20 minutes. The 15 is fighter only. but of course awesome.

[@mtsilvagt]

Stliger naval f-15? Are you dronk, or did you bump u head? Naval f-15 ??

[@berserkerkev_666]

@@zoobyzoob yup it is, but thd hornet can land in land and in an aircraft carrier, the F-15 can only land on natural ground

So they'll be taking off silently and Landing silently and I'm going to miss these cat shots

[@Dra741]

That's right the Navy submitted a patent for a flying saucer no flying Tic Tac, just like the one that was observed by the Black Aces flare camera

[@tophat1676]

Wow how could they pull this off then without pronoun training??? Amazing
