Few from yesterday. @klarsnow and @near_blind refueling, @Bogusheadbox in close, and I had an interesting glitch. My hornet stuck to the deck on touchdown.
Things got a little dicey (12.7 G) in MiG-29 guns fight. Crew Chief not going to like this… Better cue up Dos Gringos for him!
They are hard chargers those Mig29 s my opponent kept his burner on the whole flight and I kept loosing speed turning inside him with too high Alpha
4 Ship strike on the way to northern Iran, Myself leading, Bogusheadbox up close on the left, Near Blind on the right, and boomerang outboard on the left.

I joined in on the last sortie w/ @klarsnow @Bogusheadbox @Toppometer @near_blind @SierraAlphaMike At the various stages of recovery and flight. The puff of smoke off the fan tail is @Toppometer May God Rest his soul… Most fun I’ve had on an impromptu strike mission in a while. Dropped probably 30 Mk 83’s on Mr. I hate America, and then returned to the boat.
EDIT: Here is @SierraAlphaMike making a good pass. I had ALT F9 mapped to record so I inadvertently recorded it. Drunk LSO being no help at all.

First Trap in the Hornet! Wait a minute…
Quick, Line up and launch before they notice!
Look Ma! I’m a Harrier!
It sure is a great feeling of achievement, to trap on the ship!
I managed a trap last night (my first!) and felt elated No idea which wire I caught though but it was probably the #2 (might have been the #1 because I was a little low. Wooo!
