Naval Aviator Career

[FormerRecruitingGuru]

Also, is flying the Boeing P-8 Poseidon craft considered a jet? It looks like a jet to me, but what do I know? These planes seem pretty large. Do they ever land on aircraft carriers? If not, then does that mean that their pilots never serve at sea? Finally, do they have any capability to fight, if needed? Thx.

What answers did you find by researching first?

Yeah they're huge so they have tons of weapons to fight, and they go all up in space, and then land on carriers sometimes when they run out of gas early. All their pilots serve at sea for 18 years minimum. They all get silver stars for their heroism

Yeah, but you know what they don't get? A 737 type rating. 🤦‍♂️

You were thinking it, you’re just mad he posted it first.

So the Growler and the P8 don't actually fight, air force ospreys project naval power and all your hornets are blue on blue.

Sounds like Navy PA is just as good as AF PA.

Yes, no, no, yes.

Depends on what you mean by "land".

LOL..fair enough...I walked right into that one!

I know AW can feel like a 1 stop shop with a bunch of subject matter experts at your beck and call, but you can Google most of what you’ve asked, which makes it look like you’ve done your homework. People will respect that, whether you’re an aspiring Aviator, or old salt.

Many thanks. I can appreciate the constructive criticism, sir.

We've done crazy things before. Big problems are the P-8 is a lot heavier than a C-130 and has a higher stall speed.

 

[CommodoreMid]

I mean a P-8 can land on anything once

 

[Griz882]

I mean a P-8 can land on anything once

And they are amphibious!

Liberal use of word "land."
