You know I have never seen a video of a C-2 pilot bringing it aboard the boat. I have sat in the cockpit for hundreds of traps in the S-3. It seemed like the C-2 pilot was working the yoke pretty good. I don't recall that type of control movement in the Viking unless it was an auto throttle approach in challenging conditions. Maybe it was just the fact it was the first time I saw a guy use yoke controls and me relating it to how much less I am moving the same controls in a typical MD80 landing.

What was the flight control waggle on the first Hornet? One last BIT before launch or just the pilot wiping everything out?

Flight control wipeout. You can see the greenshirt by the nosewheel haul ass after the cat takes tension, then the nozzles close when he goes to MIL. Salute, see ya.

I worked the decks of the Indy and the Lex... I don't remember the decks being so roomy.;) And as far as pay... well I'd have paid them for my 'adventure of a lifetime' (don't tell on me though they might want my pay back). Met and worked with some wonderful people too (BzB get well, Ron I just tried calling and the line was busy.)
