My uncle use to talk about this old F 14 Pilot that would help out the maintance crew during down time. His call sign was Crow but i forget how he got it. He said that was one of the only pilots he's ever seen that did that. The guy told him " Cant really call a car yours if you dont know how to take care of her". Always thought that was pretty cool.
His name was Eric "Winkle" Brown and he was one of the greatest pilots who ever lived. I would never call him the greatest, because he was a modest Scotsman who would never claim that either.
I would imagine that no matter how many times a pilot does this, his heart is pounding out of their chest. Getting shit of the deck of an aircraft carrier is something only .000000000000000000000001% of people will ever get to experience. And that makes me sad 😞

Totally Awesome!!!! My nephew just got accepted into the navy. He will be going to OCS in Rhode Island then Pensacola FL for training to be fighter pilot. It has been his life long dream and its very hard to get in. The next 2 years will be be the hardest but best training ever. He already has his pilot licenses but nothing like The Navy!!
Complete different era in world war II there was a straight flight Deck it took after world war II for the jet age for the carriers to be modernized with three British inventions. The angled flight Deck. Jet blast deflectors. And the fresnel optical glide slope system. Affectionately called the meatball
As a retired Marine, I say the best pilots are in the US Naval arsenal. It's a gift to be able to land on an aircraft carrier/floating football field in the middle of the ocean, if you don't believe me, try it. More than a few nuggets in training have trapped on a carrier in flight school only to realize they didn't have what it took to do it on a regular basis, and when on to fly other aircraft that didn't require a tailhook!!!🤔
Dude all you gotta do is belly land your plane on the carrier just like a nice greeting kiss for the carrier and you should be fine unless you fly at 300 Miles per hour I’m afraid you won’t have the last laugh
I worked with probation officer Brown here in Polk County Florida, whose sister’s husband was killed along with the copilot when engine malfunction tossed them into the water after being launched. The bodies were never recovered. It can happen that fast. God bless all who serve, and keep them safe. 😎
My father was a flight deck operator on the USS Saratoga and said without a shred of doubt those pilots are the smartest and bravest guys he’s ever been around
Quietly, no fuss, no fanfare, no big deal, no media hype, these guys put it on the line every day, every hour. Freedom's sword tip. Thank you, each and every one.

I had an officer who heard I was taking flying lessons and wanted to attend college upon my discharge. He lent me several books including Harbrace's English grammar and algebra texts. I did well enough on my SATs to get accepted to my State University. I had two months before discharge when he told me I was approved to fly with him in the hopes of my re-enlistment. WOW! He actually let me fly that bird. He recommended me for officers candidate school in 1975. May he rest in peace!
He even perfectly inhales right before launch and you can see him exhale a full breath right as he goes over the edge of the boat. Eyes on full focus. This guy is a professional.

The first to take off from and land on a ship was an American Eugene Burton Ely. On November 14, 1910, Ely took off in a Curtiss Pusher from a temporary platform erected over the bow of the light cruiser USS Birmingham. Two months later, on January 18, 1911, Ely landed his Curtiss Pusher airplane on a platform on the armored cruiser USS Pennsylvania anchored in San Francisco Bay.
I've stationed on two aircraft carriers during the 1970s and the 1980s, John F. Kennedy (CV 67) and Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69). I was always amazed of the takeoffs and landings.
@murray9735 Because my dad served on the CVN 71 Theodore Roosevelt. He has photos of being on that ship. I don't remember the squadron he was in, but I do remember him telling me about his time aboard it. How is it you think I'm lying? I mean, the ship number is clearly on the island, big bold 71...

There are rough 3000-3500 personnel that are permanently assigned by Orders to a Nimitz class carrier. During deployment the airwing comes aboard from the Naval Air Stations where each squadron is based. Aircraft are 90+, and airwing personnel are 1500+ and are made of pilots, aircrewmen, maintenance, controlling plane captains, ordinancemen, safety, salvage and recovery, and more ect. During deployment the flight deck operates 12-16 hrs daily in shifts, drills, and mock battle situations are constantly practiced and are ready at an instant to engage any threat of any kind at any time.
It takes 4,999 other people on this ship for this man to do his job.
AMEN!

what a colossal waste of money
Whomever came up with landing a multi ton flying rock onto a moving postage stamp was either insane or he had great faith in man's abilities.
Crazy British. We tried it first but they perfected it.
Meh!!! Seems pretty straight forward really!!! Just sayin’s all!!!
His name was Eric "Winkle" Brown and he was one of the greatest pilots who ever lived.
I would never call him the greatest, because he was a modest Scotsman who would never claim that either.
Great balls and smart thinking I guess😅
Oh **it, the brits are here and they claim credit for everything. 😂
Love how the pilots salute the crew, always found that really nice.
It's the signal to launch I believe
They do this coz of the protocol and not out of niceness!
Also means that he's ready for lunch
"The shaka can convey Greetings, Gratitude or Assent". All appropriate imo. Cheers!!
The salute is the signal to the “shooter” that he is ready to go. The shooter then triggers the catapult
He didn't even blink for a sec, what the level of his professionalism ❤❤
Don’t let his calm demeanor fool you. When you get launched by one of the catapults that shit takes your soul.
Lol right on!!!
I would imagine that no matter how many times a pilot does this, his heart is pounding out of their chest. Getting shit of the deck of an aircraft carrier is something only .000000000000000000000001% of people will ever get to experience. And that makes me sad 😞
My soul left on the carrier just from watching.
@@heyitsme1534 ahhhhhhh give me a few hours and a pamphlet from the owners manual and I would be good to go

It’s called a knee board, has a strap that goes under his leg so it won’t go anywhere in flight
He probably has 2. One strapped to each leg.
