Did you notice that on the first PLAT footage, the Tomcat came aboard with a refulling basket (at 2:10) ?

Short Hornet vid judging by the helmet is VFA-83 and Oceana in the background. Lots of grunting ACM action ending with a break back at NTU.

Really good video of an A-6 taking the barricade. I've seen a shorter version of this video before, but this one is longer, and really gives you a sense of the LSO working with the pilots and Air Boss to get the crippled Intruder back on deck safely.

great vid
looks to me that the boat is pitching ??
The LSO seems to take over at call-the-ball "paddles contact" after pryfly has given heading vectors in the pattern, which I think is wide, and final approach to glide path telling the pilot slight changes in bearing and altitude.
"a little more power........a little more power......cut, cut"
you can see the response ?? I think I do.
A lot to learn here. Thanks
-----------------
A guess at time from call-the-ball to hitting the deck (vid times)
10:27 call the ball
10:32 paddles contact
10:55 cut
10:57 or 58 on deck
10:59 hit barrier
speed 120 reported by pilot on approach, wind 30 stated by LSO
I guess wind is WOD
