(Video) F18 catapult from carrier
Skip to 36s to see the takeoff video. Great shot from the pilot's perspective. (www.liveleak.com) Ещё...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
omg - i feel the need...the need for speed! this is THE COOLEST!
Impressive! Used to prep the pre-flight briefings on the USS Intrepid (CVS11). Never got to experience a cat or trap, but I did hitch a chopper ride once in an SH-3 on guard duty, so I've watched this from aloft. Always cool. I'm curious about the F18's altitude by the video's end. Any pilots here care to estimate his angels?
WOW
Note where the pilot's hand is during launch: He doesn't touch the stick till he's off the deck. The launch crew don't want him touching anything until he's on his own!!
What a rush! We could use a thrill ride like that at the state fair.
awesome video
