That's a cool video they put together.

One surprising thing to me is how much back-forth-up-down-left-right fighting with the yoke and throttles that there is while on final to the carrier deck. It sure doesn't look like a "stabilized approach." :scratch:

The E-2D which shares a lot of parts is the same way at the boat.

Interesting to read the cause of the crash.

Tried to send a broken generator away from the ship for repair and it shifted rearward during the launch.
