=============================
This is a video of me taking a catapult shot on Christmas Day in a Navy C-2 Greyhound. It was filmed as we flew off from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier a few years back. With a wingspan of 81', the C-2 ties with the E-2 Hawkeye as the biggest aircraft to currently fly on and off of U.S Navy aircraft carriers.
So the big question is, WHY am I saluting with my left hand? LEAVE YOUR ANSWER IN THE COMMENTS BELOW :)

“I swear I told my recruiting officer Fighter Pilot not Freighter Pilot” In all seriousness, these two guys are one of the many unsung heroes of the Navy. From parts, to people, to Christmas mail, nothing gets there without the COD.

My mom and I made him dozens and dozens of homemade cookies and mailed them. We weren’t sure they’d make it, but they did! He asked for more very soon after too. My momma replied in a letter, you shouldn’t be eating all those cookies out there! He said he had only eaten a couple.. they were currency! He used them as bartering tools, favors! Lol. He was on the Nimitz, Yosemite, and I can’t recall all of them. He passed young in his 50’s, doing what he loved best… going fast! Thank you for this perspective and reminder of those times. He retired from the Navy.. dad retired from the Army. I have always appreciated the special breed of sacrificing humans. Where would we be without you… Thank you. ❤

What always amazes me is how much slower a cat launch seems like from the inside of an aircraft compared to outside it. On the deck, you blink and it's gone. Inside the cockpit it seems like it takes a solid minute. I know it doesn't of course, but it seems that way.

@bigredracingdog466 2 года назад

At 2:11 you can see a flight deck crewman at left present the Weight Board to the pilots. The copilot points it out to the pilot who acknowledges with a thumbs up that the posted launch weight is correct. Every aircraft is launched according to its gross weight + aircraft type + wind over the deck. On a windy day a lightly-loaded C-2 with those huge wings will get a pretty soft launch. The hardest shots I had in the Phantom back in the day were on dead-calm days where the ship was making all the wind and the F-4 had a full load of Mk-82 bombs.

What all you guys did (and still do) out there in the ocean is simply amazing. Thank you twice. Once for all you did and once again for sharing some of the best parts of it with all us normal people stuck here on land.

I’m back Rob , I enjoy these type clips, I worked the flight deck on the Wasp , Intrepid , and the Saratoga . HS 5 helicopters , I’m older now but still get my pictures out to go back in my head .I was a plane captain doing preflights and daily inspections and of course signing my name on the sheets.I took my job serious and all the pilots trusted me , I’m proud of that ! Served 1968 / 1972 and still honor my oath .

Thanks for sharing, Rob - one son is a nukie Chief, San Diego, now in his final enlistment before retirement. Took a Friends & Fam cruise on the Reagan, went to Norfolk for Tiger cruise on GW, was canceled. Two of his sisters were USN also. Thank you for your service & merry Christmas!
