Our camera kept shutting off from the power of the jet takeoff! Video just cannot convey what one actually feels standing there! The heat, the literal vibration of the air from the catapult and jet engines, the smell of jet fuel, the dust that gets stirred up.... Glad you caught this Burt.

I haven't. I still feel like I'm on the carrier. ;-) I never get tired watching videos of the planes taking off and landing. What an amazing time it was aboard the USS Nimitz. Aloha, Nate Burt,

Have you got your “land legs” back yet? I haven’t. I still feel like I’m on the carrier. ;-) I never get tired watching videos of the planes taking off and landing. What an amazing time it was aboard the USS Nimitz.

Aloha,
Nate

My husband was in the USMC and was in avionics, working on FA-18 Hornets. I think this one was a SUPER Hornet? We would love to watch them streaking across the California sky and have goosebumps when they turned on their after burners. Those landings must have been a thriller. I heard that the level of stress that the pilots feel landing on air craft carriers esp at night exceeds the stress levels of combat. Thanks for sharing. I miss hearing those jets. Used to go to air shows too...Harriers, F-16's F-15's, 14's, Stealths, B52's, blackhawk helicopters, etc. all so neat to watch! We've been on a frigate and aircraft carrier and was amazed at the size of the deck. So neat too how the wings fold up to take up less space! Enjoyed your blogs. That F-18 take off was awesome.
