One guy in our Officer Candidate School class became a fighter pilot. He said the first time he launched from a carrier he blacked out. He woke up just in time. It never happened again, but the incident stayed with him throughout his active duty.

You should check out YouTube channel “Growler Jams” sometime.....I think you’d enjoy it.

Fighter pilots load up on carbs before the mission.

I’m guessing the launch sequence is a lot faster when they scramble the jets.

Wow! He spoke Greek to me, but it sure looks like fun.

There are many videos of carrier flight deck operations and I’ve loved watching them for quite a while.
