It is not at all uncommon to see the deck pitching like that during flight-ops.

I will say that when the pilots walked by after night ops on the way to the Ready Room, the pits, crotch and backs of their flight suits would be dark with perspiration, and as they carried their helmets, their hair was usually dark, wet, and plastered to their skulls.

It sure impressed on me how difficult it must be.
