Wonder how many times they crashed?? That shyt looks intense.

They train for hours.on land..

Then fly a T45 training single engine jet on board a carrier... to get qualified

Then move onto FA 18..get qualified..

Then fly atleast 1 once a month.

They probably have over 200hours flying before they've onto the stealth bombers...probably been flying for years and have dozens of landings on a carrier before they even smell a stealth bomber.

On the way to the gulf the Navy jets just fly around doing mock missions.. fly for about an hour. ...then land. Each pilot get a day and night flying session

Takes us about a month and half to get to the gulf.

Then when we get to the GULF the actual missions begin..recon or bomb dropping.

That jet came to an abrupt stop
A line literally catches the aircraft
