Oct 15, 2011 -  It's not that she's a woman, it's that she's a nugget and would've been up there with a pitching deck at night with no tanker and no bingo field. You don't do that to a junior pilot.

Nov 19, 2011 - the top gun bullshit has people thinking carrier landings are easy and it takes one go every time.

LordsOfLanding Says:

Dec 15, 2011 - @paleblack1989 no she couldn't have. A rookie nugget asked to do a night landing with a pitching deck and swells of +\- 30 feet is asking for trouble. As her CO, Sex is responsible for Cone's safety - not to mention the $56 million jet! He also mentions he has "some pilots that I worry about" and judged that Cone was not ready for such a demanding situation. It was a good call on Sex's part.

wichitarick Says:

Apr 8, 2012 - wow Spent enough time on deck that if the deck hands heard that guy(pilot) saying all of that BEFORE they had to report that night,they would be shaking the entire time lol he is saying "thinking about" hitting the boat & going into a million pcs. wow trust me hearing that BEFORE work would make you wish you had a diaper that night. CRAZY jobs ,have seen a LOT bigger rolls though & all clean landings. very cool thanks .Rick usn Nimitz,America,Independence

Apr 25, 2012 - landing on a moving, rocking, windy, rainy, slippery, dark, foggy, carrier. Has to be one of the hardest and most dangerous tasks they do. Heli pilots too. But dang is it an epic concept.!

nimaside Says:

May 9, 2012 - The last pilot was the skipper. The reason it was his last, is after the tour he was stationed in California as a trainor.

May 10, 2012 - Ignore the ball?... damn.

aleksander73 Says:

May 10, 2012 - Awesome video. Does anyone else find the red haired woman incredibly annoying?

jamason5610 Says:

May 11, 2012 - Yes, very annoying.

thesloopyable Says:

May 13, 2012 - I flew some in the Air Force and later as a civilian, but like a navy pilot explained, "I am amazed at you guys [AF] in our stealth, maneuvers and constant exercises BUT our runways are rather stable :-).Nelson USAF Retired

VMA225 Says:

May 17, 2012 - Excellent Video !!!

dblgonzo Says:

May 17, 2012 - I spent 4 years in an F14 squadron aboard the "IKE" you should see those big bastards land at night in bad weather.

freakybuzz Says:

May 22, 2012 - How do they control their aircraft? Don't their giant brass balls get in the way? :-)
