• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

This is very unnerving, landing with deck pitching 30 feet, at night, low on fuel.
Incredible. You will never forget viewing this. I have seen a lot of aviation
videos but the two videos below are undoubtedly the best.
Turn on your sound and go full screen.
I guarantee this will definitely hold your attention.
These videos show the difference between Naval Aviation and any other kind. The links below are two outstanding videos about F-18 carrier operations aboard the USS Nimitz during weather that causes a severely pitching deck, which you can see in the videos. It's more dangerous than most combat missions and the tension in the pilots and crew is very apparent. Watch Part 1 first, then Part 2. Great videos.

Excellent!

Although I was in the USN, I never had the actual pleasure of visiting a "Bird Farm". :thumbup:
 
F-18

Loved the movies about the F-18 Held me on the seat with a seat belt. Was in the Air Force for 4 years during the Viet Nam and flew in different aircraft but nothing like that. This is something one has to think about our men in uniform that has this for there job.

I watched that whole series and it was great. The redhead girl is from GA North of Atlanta.
I also watched the program they had on the Airforce Survival Course and was great too.
 
Wow, these guys & gals need our prayers and support even when they're NOT in combat! I so appreciate what they do for us. Thank you Father... :pray:
