Whew, been at this all day. I've got one more launch and recovery in me. Hope I can hit that third wire once again...

Ahhh. Sweet success

3 & 4 are fantastic. I love how you captured that moment in #4. I'm still pretty shaky at landing on AC... I have a new video btw... Channel if you want. --> http://www.youtube.com/user/DynamicsOfFlight?feature=mhum

Great shots, once again. Wink

I went outside once. The graphics weren't all that great.

Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.

Thanks for the kind compliment.
In my early days of flying I did alot of carrier ops. The flight dynamics of the default F-18 are shakey at best, just haven't upgraded yet.
1:57, 2:08 and 3:38 are great...keep it up Cool

Nice set Greg, especially the first three.

But I have to ask. What if you were mistaken and only one launch left in you? Roll Eyes

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Very nice shots indeed, very dynamic.
I suppose this is the modified "Sludge" Hornet ?

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

Wonderful shots Greg...well done...

I really like #2...I think it has some feeling to it and one can almost see that the aircraft slightly descended off the end of the carrier and is now climbing...

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
P.S. The only way you would get me off a carrier in a suck and blow is if the shark is bigger than the boat... Grin

Awesome shots Greg Cool

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Why do I have this feeling that while I'm replying and I see that your online too, that we're all in for a treat? Shocked

Thanks for the compliment Chuck Cool
