I've always had a very high level of respect for Naval Aviators, but this video just piles onto what I already believed to be true: You takeoff and land on ledges shorter than my front porch all while this runway moves in 50knot winds.
Takes a lot of courage and tireless dedication to do what these aviators do. I'd love to hear from anyone in the flying community (any service branch) or aircraft operations world that has a full appreciation for how difficult this job really is. Would be great to also hear some unique challenges that were overcome along the way.
How was this career path? Where did you start? Where did you end up? Was it anything like you expected?

Capt Brandon Charters I have always been amazed with Naval Aviators. Taking off and landing from a runaway that moves up, down, right, left, and in between often at night. That must require incredible skill.
RESPECT, to borrow from SFC Mark Merino

Give me a break, Naval Air rules all clubs, at all times. We would drag in all covered in sweat and Hyd. fluid about the same time you guys were ironing those things around your neck. By the end of the night, we had all the broads at our table and you guys went home in flames wrapping your scarf around something else.

And I thought 80 knots buzzing the Iraq desert floor was a treat. That was awesome!
