This is only a “clip” about carrier landings.
The entire movie is about the history of air combat.
From the Wright Bros. to Drones....

We need to remember this era because it is ending. Aircraft carriers, like battleships before them are almost obsolete. A new generation of "carrier killer" missiles will be their undoing. Men won't be flying fighter jets much longer either. Machines (robotics) can do it better.

Naval Aviators and Jarheads... It is not a BOAT, It is a SHIP!
a BOAT has a periscope, sail, diving planes and submerges.

Thanks for this. My hubby, Vietnam era Navy pilot, has been reminiscing about this sort of thing...after watching the video. He made 5 out of 5 traps the first time....and they did all this with no nice “heads up display” to help them. ;-D
Utter shame what Obama has done to our military...we had all better be praying for our country!

Navy pilots are so bad that they need a wire to catch them when they land.
Real pilots don’t need a wire to land properly.
