That was one excellent video. I really enjoyed it. Always wanted to be a pilot but never followed through. Ended up a Marine combat soldier...Thanks for sharing

That landing was the most nervous time I spent in the Navy. Up there it looks completely impossible, always gave some thought to wearing a diaper, to hell with the chute. Very good, but I am not so sure about the thanks for the memories stuff to follow. Thanks anyway Brian for posting. Keep this up and I will need to take the laptop to the restroom for future reply's.
You are welcome Brian and thank you for your service to our country. :thumbup: :thumbup: :-D

As an old submarine sailor, I 'm surprized to hear a carrier being called a boat.
Which led me to do a little research.

SS sailors call their ships "boats" At least on my boat; you could acqire a rather large knot on your head if you confused the two. I will say that some Russian subs would be hard pressed to be called "boats"

Great video - thanks for posting. If any of our ex-Navy pilots who come on here occasionally are watching, I 'm wondering: if a marine pilot enjoyed flying off carriers a lot, and was good at it, would it be feasible, or smart, for that matter, to change services and go into the navy?

Yeah, that Navy pilot at the end seemed pretty sad that he wouldn't be seeing his Marine friend again, since Marines never fly off carriers again, once they've qualified.
