SpazSinbad:
I could have done this earlier but was just going on what I perceived from my screen looking at the image as shown (not zooming in). Anyway with this 'false colour' image to highlight the actual continuous tracks of the lights (rather than original image where the tracks fade in and out perhaps) it is clear what is what in the original image (whatever it is). :-) Perception is a funny thing huh. Thank goodness for LSOs! :-) I probably need to eat more carrots. I forgot to save the 'original' before modifying the colours/enabling them to be seen better so the lower 'original' image is approximately cropped to the same size as the modified one above:

I am pretty sure it is the AoA indexer on the nose gear. I have picture I took from vultures row, and you could clearly see the AoA indexer when the jet was in the landing attitude (see attached pic). With a long exposure you would get the affect in the picture Orion posted. I've seen similar pics of night approaches with AoA shown and discussed. That is were I got the idea for vLSO that I suggested to Serge.
SpazSinbad:
OK thanks. Great pic. I have not been on a CVN to know about this so good to know.

Hornet Ball 2014 video by Wingnut is up, and it is SICK!
Enjoy!
GOONIE:
Nice, loved minute 9:47, that jet popping out of the goo and the look on people's faces on the LSO platform says it all.
