Rolling Deck Landing Pretty Intense

[Jebus]

This is very unnerving, landing with deck pitching 30 feet, at night, low on fuel. 
Turn on your sound and go full screen. Headphones if you have em!!
I guarantee this will definitely hold your attention. The links below are two outstanding videos about F-18 carrier operations aboard the USS Nimitz during weather that causes a severely pitching deck, which you can see in the videos.

Please for the love of [insert deity here, I like to pick Odin on occasion] don't be so ignorant, it's just like how in the U.S, a lot of videos have audio blocked due CRI

  That was a great series they did on the carrier.

My Mom's cousin wrote technical manuals, he didn't say what systems, but he did say that the Navy aviators were extremely arrogant and cocky compared to the U.S.A.F. guys.

I guess this is why they can be. Freaking awesome.

There isn't audio in those videos.  It is PBS why would a country block something made by PBS?

Whomever uploaded the video blocked it from being viewed outside the U.S. That's the way YouTube works.

Sometimes it's better to study a little bit about a topic before you click the Post button.

Thank you for explaining why bozon couldn't view the video with facts.    Instead of simply calling me ignorant but not telling me what I was ignorant about.

If it was my only chance to make a carrier landing I'd ride along.

But then I'm old and have little to live for. <G>
