Off The Deck Of The Hornet, Over The Pilot's Shoulder

0 to 200 in the blink of an eye. Notice the "Look Ma, No hands" while he's being shot off the deck.

Absolutely has to be.

Volume in the headphones twasn't that too, too bad.

Try holding a conversation in a back yard on Lady's Island, South Carolina when the boys are coming out of MCAS Beaufort and given permission for unrestricted climb to altitude.

I used to live near TYS ANG and watch the KC 135's roar inbound and outbound. This was the late 70's when they were extra loud, belching, and smoking.

See all those deck crew members standing over there, working in a high stress and very dangerous environment, surrounded by billions of dollars of tax-payer funded equipment they are responsible for? Most of them are in their late teens or early twenties and they are there by choice.

Remember that the next time you hear someone running down the younger generation.

People being trained to robotic-ally launch planes off of a Carrier doesn't exonerate ANY generation.

You're supposed to be Old AND Wise. Where's the Wisdom?

The pilot doesn't use the controls on a catapult launch, it's done automatically in the F/A-18.

That IS my old wisdom. The younger generation is NOT going to hell in a hand basket, any more than were previous generations which were labeled as such by old farts and uninformed troglodytes.

This up and coming generation of American's are the greatest we've ever produced and they WILL save America from what my generation has done to it. Mark my words.

Knee jerk Leftie just exercising his Hate The Military reflex. How's your German or your Japanese BTW, because if it weren't for those 15 million young Americans who donned the uniform of the United States Military, 430,000 of whom never returned, you'd need to speak either one or both of those languages to get by today. "Oh, but that was a 'Good War'", you say. Up until the late 60's when the KGB began massively infiltrating the American Left with money and activists, both Republican and Democratic Presidents shared the common goal of protecting the rights, liberties, and interests of the American people. After the sixties, the Left's goal shifted in the direction of making America subservient to Communism and its causes.
