For those of you wondering what an EMALS cat shot looks like.The quality of GoPro type cams are impressive - here's recent production by an E-2 driver doing CQ,. I still laugh that there is a humble Garmin GNS 530 Nav in the center panel. (very capable piece of OTS gear gear - I am pleasantly surprised at the common sense of giving the E-2 the capability of WAAS RNAV LPV, ILS, and VHF comms in one very rugged box).

Is Ray’s Shanty still around? Close to Wallops.This is all I heard last weekend at my parents. These guys were in a 3-5 plane rotation doing FLCP....ALL DAY. Pictures may not do it justice, but they make the turn to return to Wallops right over my parents house. It sounds like an invasion of bees when their sitting on the runway...the constant buzzing.

Also did some surf fishing, son caught his first "shark". Water was crazy warm for November.

Question from the unaware...the E-2 in @ABMD’s very pics appears to have a fuel probe for aerial refueling, is that a new thing?This is all I heard last weekend at my parents.

Yup, RAG stood up training last year. Fleet either has started or is shortly getting the narwhals. Something feels good about being the fat kid taking gas from a Jet.Question from the unaware...the E-2 in @ABMD’s very pics appears to have a fuel probe for aerial refueling, is that a new thing?
