Just another day at the office in the SOCAL oparea, but I do agree that it would appear terrifying to the uninitiated.

I have seen this before, but I forgot how compelling it is.

In a very few minutes you are biting your lip murmuring or yelling “com’on COME’ON COME’ON! DANG!”

By the end you are high fiving invisible people in your living room and/or jumping like your team just scored a 90 yard touchdown.

If public broadcasting could consistently give us this quality and subject style material we wouldn’t have to pull the plug.

Sadly, it (PBS) spends most of its efforts in undermining the work of such brave (and cool) men and women as are filmed on the shoot.

And watching the pilots QB’ing in the room is absolutely fascinating. These guys ain’t like the rest of us (except you that are “these guys”).

Thanks for a wonderful post!

“It’s more dangerous than most combat missions and the tension in the pilots and crew is very apparent. “

They told us at Pensacola that during a night carrier trap a pilot’s heart rate is higher than in combat.

This segment was a part of a 12 one hour series about life on the carrier during one cruise. I saw this several years ago but well remember the stories about many of the people seen in this segment.

The Skipper who made that last landing was retiring at the end of this cruise. The Female Ensign had had a 12 year career as an enlisted. She was divorced. Her ex husband was trying to keep her kids from joining her for the family cruise day.
