The Navy's got it all over the Air Force. How many times have you seen an Air Force weinee land a jet aboard an Aircraft Carrier at night in rough seas?

Same chuckles. How many times have you seen a Navy pilot land in a cross wind?

Not sure why you are picking on the Naval aviators. I have seen both the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels many times and the level of flight demonstration is equally high for both...

I quite agree with you, Notorious T.O.D.; Both squadrons are equal in their skills and abilities. That dismissal was totally uncalled for. People should remember that navy pilots takeoff and land on the constantly moving deck of an aircraft carrier, day and night, and in all kinds of weather---that takes skill, concentration and nerve.

OhOh. I don't have anything in the game, and I really admire Navy Pilots for being able to land on a runway that is going up and down or in the dark with lights on the carrier out - - - - but that was a pretty good shot about the crosswind landing. Just sayin!
