Landing on an aircraft carrier at night in heavy seas?
Wow, I just watched an episode of the PBS series "Carrier". The aircraft carrier was steaming home from the Gulf and ran into heavy seas. The bridge was lifting up and down ten feet. So they sent pilots to practice landing on the deck. A lot of guys miss and had to circle back again and again. Pretty amazing stuff. What do you think?
It is excellent training for all crew. You had to be prepared, if you click on these conditions in a real war situation. The Marijuana night were the worst. Most of what we did was training. When I remember I was in flight operations in a seas worse then they were in was on a destroyer to guard plan behind the carrier. If the carrier a bit steep, you can do believe the cans were probably under water or maybe fly. In the 18 th month I was on a tin pursuit of a carrier we only lost two planes. One, in a rough sea, flew into the rear of the carrier. The other was in the Med. The aircraft had a flame out and went down. The pilot was taken up later. It was not only during night operations. I remember going around an aircraft or twice during the day when we were in rough seas.
