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.

Fighter pilots load up on carbs before the mission.

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

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