OT: Carrier Qualified!

I still need to finish up the BFM/ACM syllabus before I wing and find out platform/coast. At this point though airframe is F/A-18C/E/F/G though.

I'd throw together a quick carrier tutorial with the VRS Rhino if there was sufficient interest?

Oh, it would be very much appreciated! Oh yeah!!! :jump:
 
Plenty of info out for the pattern since the CNATRA pubs can be found, but I would only think many here would want to know T-45 numbers around the boat (for use with Dino's model). I would have some other numbers for airways nav (filed speeds/alt's/fuel), I do believe you had thread on this on VRS.

So no chance of going C-2/E-2's?
 
Victory,

I am well into advanced jets, which is the final portion of training for Hornet pilots. E-2/C-2 pilots get selected at the end of intermediate jets before weps, tacform, low levels etc.

What type of numbers are you looking for regarding the T-45?
 
Sorry, yeah I should've known that with where you are in training. I guess fuel numbers around the boat, max trap fuel, min fuel and bingo if you guys had to divert back to VQQ. Boat break speeds (does the tailhook have a max speed?).
 
Congrats man!

I got my ten traps on the "Forrest Fire" back in '92....then never again.

I prefer to stop and land rather than land and stop. ;)

Sounds like you can't lose in the jet selection. No such thing as a bad Hornet.

VS-22!

What squadrons were you with at Cecil, and when? NC

VS-22 in 1977 to 1979 time frame. (My dear (departed) squadron mate was Vic Saracini one of the first victims of the U.S. War with Terrorists. Vic, like me, was not a pilot in the U.S. Navy. He was an NFO / Tacco.) I was the AT / AX Branch Officer and thought I had the best job(s) in the world! I also got my private pilots license (PPL) while at Cecil (Cecil Flying Club) thanks to an A-7 "wash out" pilot. He went on to become a Northwest Airlines B-747 Captain! You're making me remember some fond memories. What's your history with NAS Cecil Field Chief?

IP Bingo - 900 lbs
CV Break - 300 kts
Student $hit hot break - 450 kts at mil power for the noise (ashore on fast break Fridays/fini flight etc...)

Ahoy Jay!

I was with:

VA-15 1981-84
VFA-106 1984-87
VA-83, VFA-83 1987-1990. The Rampagers transitioned to Lawn Darts at that time.

Then I transferred to Saufley Field, Pensacola, and wrote AME Advancement Exams.
Next, I went to VQ-1 on Guam, until the squadron transferred to Whidbey. I retired from VQ-1 on Whidbey, April 1997. Pete
