Wow, I've seen parts of this video before, but not the whole thing. Some really close call WOs and great "clara" calls too! Enjoy 8)

Puff:
great video - did I hear one aircraft go sit with the tanker until the weather cleared?
Victory103:
You did, probably a new guy (Nugget) and they are waiting for the boat to find a clear area, which according to most Naval Aviators the boat drivers seem to do the opposite and find the wx! I never remember a time this bad in helo land (plenty of dark nights), but we would scout out for the boat for clear areas.

Goonie, that video is gnarly!!! Victory, I too have never seen anything that bad before. In that kind of downpour I'm surprised the Boss didn't tell "99" to go look at the tanker. That kind of rain is indicative of a microburst, which can be a bit less than conducive to landing, especially on the boat. Also, just my opinion, but I'm guessing the guy who said "screw this" was more senior than junior. In my experience nuggets tend to feel pressured into pressing a bad situation while the senior guys know when to say when. But who knows? ;)
