Beating up the carrier like that is a time-honoured tradition; sooner or later any fighter pilot is going to do it one way or another.

I'm going to check the photos my son sent from his deployment; I believe that there's one of a Hornet beating up the USS Harry S Truman.

LOL That is what I am talking about! Turn and burn baby!

Wonder if he got the TOPGUN lecture." You and your snot nose jockeys do a flyby on my tower at over 100 knots, I want somebodies butt, I have had it."

or the

"That was an incredibly brave thing you just did, but what you should have done was land your plane, You don't own that aircraft, it belongs to the tax payers. One more screw up and you'll be flying cargo planes full of SH*&^^ out of banqua"

This was a demo flight for a Govt official if I remember correctly.....not a stunt where the pilot got disciplinary action for his low level flying....

Ah,.....it took me a bit to find it, but here is the lowdown on that shot........

Quote:

"The Shot," USS America, 1989
Photo used courtesy of Dale Snodgrass

That shot off of the America is very widely used….most people seem to initially think it is either an edited photo, or a risky maneuver. What was it?

It's not risky at all with practice…it was my opening pass to a Tomcat tactical demonstration at sea. I started from the starboard rear quarter of the ship, at or slightly below flight deck level. Airspeed was at about 250 knots with the wings swept forward. I selected afterburner at about 1/2 mile behind and the aircraft accelerated to about 325-330 knots. As I approached the ship, I rolled into an 85 degree angle of bank and did a 2-3 g turn, finishing about 10- 20 degrees off of the ship's axis. It was a very dramatic and, in my opinion, a very cool way to start a carrier demo. The photo was taken by an Aviation Boson's Mate who worked the flight deck on the USS America. Just as an aside...the individual with his arms behind his back is Admiral Jay Johnson, the immediate past Chief of Naval Operations for the Navy.
