Videos of F-18 fighters landing on a pitching deck

[thechamp]

Not anything to do with hunting or guns, but had this sent to me tonight and thought it was worth sharing. These are kind of long but they will grab you and hold your attention. This is very unnerving, landing with deck pitching 30 feet, at night, low on fuel. Incredible. Turn on your sound and go full screen. These videos show the difference between Naval Aviation and any other kind. The links below are two outstanding videos about F-18 carrier operations aboard the USS Nimitz during weather that causes a severely pitching deck, which you can see in the videos. It's more dangerous than most combat missions and the tension in the pilots and crew is very apparent. Watch Part 1 first.
