• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

F-18 carrier pilot video.

WOW

That's cool.... Thanks for the video.

I noticed the winder on his port wing flexing a bit. The pilot looks more intent on visuals out the canopy and not so much on any instruments.
I guess this is a VFR flight. The trap was interesting to watch. That dude looked to bust the sound barrier (saw vapor streams going over his wings).
 
The other wing pylons will flex as well. He is referencing his HUD for the most part, so no need to look inside. "Vapes" can occur at any speed, lots of clouds so lots of moisture in the air that day.
