He's landing in several friend's farms and very proficient at our place which is one direction on a hill side. We both got up last week. As far as consecutive landings, one day on cruise all the planets lined up and the recovery became a "bagex". The deck just kept sending us back up into the pattern. The f18s ran out of gas first, then the tomcats, then the ea6, then the a6s. So it was me and one other s3. A normal carrier pattern is 600 feet, one mile abeam, turn to give yourself 35 to 45 seconds of straight away, or groove time. Well, knew this couldn't last forever, you could see the guy getting shot off the cat putting the stick over so he'd turn immediately off the deck because his spoilers would come up. In fact if they didn't, you gave him a ration on the back radio. We were maybe 1/2 mile abeam, three fifty max altitude, 20 seconds in the groove. Perfectly out of sync, one guy abeam, the other getting shot. We both got 13 consecutive carrier landings. It was awesome! I love flying, but REALLY love pattern work.

A dear friend flys 47's and triple 7's for the CIA. His description of his first carrier landing was breathtaking. I would like to hear about yours next time we get together!

Hehe. The first cat was even better! Uh,think you did, and pretty sure I don't! Do you know about when they were flying them? I was in the community from 91 to 97 or so.
