The Cool Video Thread
GOONIE:
Cool cut of the HUD video Spaz.
What I like about the super hornet HUD videos is that you can see the energy carrot to the right of the Velocity Vector, which essentially shows you what the pilot is doing with the throttle during the pass. You can see lots of small adjustments and dealing with the burble. I noticed IC to At the Ramp, while appearing slightly high on the ball, he adds power, but it all works out well. Not sure if that is the parallax from the HUD camera, or accounts for the settle.

Tailhook 2015 videos http://livestream.com/wab/tailhook2015/videos
SpazSinbad:
Some of those TAILHOOK videos are a bit long with questions at the end not audible so I have taken the liberty of editing two videos - one about MAGIC CARPET for the Super Hornet +1 extra and as we are told it is taken from the F-35C IDLC/Delta Flight Path concept - explained for the Lightning II in the F-35C test pilot brief video.

Speaking of Magic Carpet, here's my story: http://whidbeydailynews.com/2015/09/magic-carpet-software-may-mean-fewer-touch-and-gos-on-whidbey-island/
Hope you were able to save more of the Tailhook videos.
SpazSinbad:
Thanks for the link 'AvgeekJoe' I'll check it out. As for the videos - all of them are available on one web page and I have only 'excerpted' those bits that interest me - usually deck landing and the new stuff - MC & F-35C. Missing from the 'Magic Carpet excerpt video' is the beginning part about the history of deck landing and how to do it. So go here for all the videos - complete:

I have a lot of saved information about the F-35C IDLC/Delta Flight Path which was the forerunner to 'MAGIC Carpet' for the Super Hornet and that info as well. Attached is the latest VX-23 at PaxRiver PDF excerpt report about 'Magic Carpet' and JPALS etc. A lot of information about both aircraft and how they use these new deck landing techniques is on F-16.net - otherwise I could provide URLs for PDFs with this information collected - to date. Anyway go here:
This thread turns into everything about Magic Carpet and Super Hornet so title is misleading - search thread for 'Magic' (no quotes):

This thread is more about the F-35C etc: http://www.f-16.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=26634
