The Cool Video Thread
MikeB54:
One of the things my son told me was that it drove him crazy when I was doing an approach in the sim and would go 5 seconds or more without moving the throttle. He flew one while I watched and he never stopped moving the controls. Not quite as much as in the video, but he was always doing something. I have tried to pick up the technique and my approaches have gotten better.

I sent this video to an acquainence of mine who flies the Super Hornet. He says that the stick movement is accurate and, as Spaz's post showed, it is the way the aircraft is designed. "In previous aircraft there was very little "north/south" movement of the stick behind the boat because you should be trimmed on speed. But in the Rhino/Growler there is just as much north/south movement on the stick as there is east/west."

This weekend a decided to watch, again, a DVD that my son gave me for Christmas a few years ago. It's called Speed and Angels. It's a true story about the path of two Naval Aviators as they go through the qualification process for the F-14 Tomcat. There is some great flying footage in it as well as a lot of footage from around the boat. I enjoy it every time I watch it. If you can't get your hands on the DVD it is also available on Hulu.
