--- Quote from: SpazSinbad on October 05, 2010, 07:22:33 am ---Carrier Landing Mishaps is a misleading title for this 1968 USN training video about? What else? Carrier Landings. This movie is otherwise about the causes showing details about how to deck land well (including how to catapult properly). I have been looking for actual Hornet training film without success:

From 9 minutes 30 seconds approximately the details about 'how to carrier land' start.

Down To The Wire is a terrific movie about new deck landers in T-2C Buckeyes.

Not seen this one: "Hook Down, Wheels Down - U.S. Navy (More Historical than How to Deck Land)
Produced in the early 1970s, "Hook Down, Wheels Down" was one of the most comprehensive (and expensive) films made by the U.S. Navy. It covers the history and development of the U.S. aircraft carrier, and does so through interviews with many of the men who made it happen. While dozens of aircraft carriers are featured, it is the USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67) that takes center stage -- and the material shot on her deck looks like it is right out of "Top Gun"...

Spaz,
Those are some really cool and good movies, thanks for posting them.
SpazSinbad:
No probs. Parts of these movies (not the historical USN one) are in the 4.4GB PDF (A4G Skyhawk & RAN FAA) / and 2GB how to carrier land PDF (excerpts from main 4.4GB PDF) and the smaller PDF as appropriate.
Did not realise until yesterday whilst looking for specific 'how to carrier land a Hornet' training video that these golden oldie movies were available online. BTW if anyone finds a USN Training movie about how to deck land [a HORNET specifically] would they please post that info in this forum please? Tah. ;D
SUBS17:
Should sticky this thread as its good for learning carrierops.
DigitAL:
What are you all getting for time-in-groove?
SUBS17:
Depends about 28.5s on last approach.(4 wire though I was trying to miss it deliberately as I'm trying to record a bolter) ;D
