The Cool Video Thread

Wily...
Good comments with the exception that its CATCC that talks him up to Paddles, not PriFly, go to 3:35 and listen to the commentary. I would also add how calm, cool, and collected Paddles is and how much that affected this whole turn of events for the better. Nothing like having that assured voice over the radio that talks you ALL THE WAY TO SHUTDOWN. Even after the barricade grab, Paddles is telling the pilot to "stay with it". That Paddles is second to none, from all the videos I've seen and heard.

CATCC -----right, it's my mistake, don't know my proper wordings. CATCC is below the pryfly, actually below the flight deck. CATCC ------ carrier air traffic control center.
Thanks for correcting. I always need correcting.
Yes I've watched twice more, a bit clear now, will watch more, vid is certainly worth it, "Bug" is very unique. Other barricade trap vids are not as interesting one could say. I downloaded the vid and edited the excess at the end. I can watch it when I want.

Great find and that is the guy you want on the other end of the radio for sure. Got to see this real life (day) on my 1st cruise on Big "E" with a VA-75 Intruder taking the barricade.

In case you missed this one over on the VRS forum, really good/high quality HUD video from VFA-14 Tophatters, including some HD vid of the pilot working the stick and throttle during the carrier landing.
