Must have been a kinder, gentler cat stroke....... XO said it surprised the hell out of him, he was 200 feet in front of the boat at 60' AGL when he realized what happened.
Wow, I can't believe he had the composure at that point to come up with something like that.
Although the hard to believe portion of that is that none of the QA personnel give a thumbs up (or wand up) until the exterior lights come on, and the shooter doesn't touch the deck until he's checked everyone one of them. BigIron?

Seems to me like shooters might have been more "involved" when they were up close & personal .... just sayin' ........Shooter was in the bubble, all warm and cozy on a dark cold night.
"Shooter isn't supposed to..." I think you meant.

This sounded familiar... So I did a search... I read something similar in Approach when I was still on Active Duty, does it happen often?Actually heard on a dark, dark night. 304 was VFA XO:
304: Boss, 304.
Boss: Go ahead 304.
304: Are my lights on?
(Pause)
Boss: Uh, I don't see any lights on...
304: Then why am I flying?
Shooter got itchy and shot the guy before he turned on his lights. XO said it surprised the hell out of him, he was 200 feet in front of the boat at 60' AGL when he realized what happened.
