bizarre F-18 landing on a carrier (1 Viewer)

I'm no expert but landing a fighter looks more manual then landing a passenger jet. He's clearly basing that landing on looking and lining up and doesn't look automated at all.

that was really cool

They basically point the nose at the ship, use the trimmer to align the E bracket that appears after the gear gets dropped down. Then using engine thrust to raise or lower the nose to get the right AoA. There’s a hook on the back of the aircraft that contacts and grabs onto 1 of the 3 cable set out across the deck, that stops the aircraft. Pretty fucking awesome stuff.

All flying terrifies me. I am flying to Copenhagen next year and I'm already fretting about it.

I used to fly. My call name was Captain Winky.

I'd get too much anxiety trying to do that, margin of error is so slim. Gotta be a really specific kind of person to be able to do it.

The first Top Gun was trash. Too much sappy love shit. The second one is great though

Are you suggesting that "passenger jets" routinely use autoland? Because they don't...

This is great.
#2 is wonky for balance.
#4 has great 5 point turn skills
#6 holy big plane landing
#7 made my tummy flipflop a bit
#8 DUCK! Touch and Go

Those waves look tiny but they are far from it.
