Spinoff of the Navy thread.

PBS did a 10 part series filmed aboard the USS Nimitz during a deployment.

Very interesting series. Documenting the daily lives of the sailors and pilots during this cruise.

Carrier

Side note: Commander David Fravor is as good an F/A-18 pilot as ever sat in the seat.

He’s also the one that spotted the UFO

LINK

The USS Nimitz UFO incident was a radar-visual encounter of an unidentified flying object by US fighter pilots of the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group in 2004. The encounter also included an engagement with the UFO by the commander of Strike Fighter Squadron 41, and his weapon systems officer.[1][2]

They were bringing planes in on a pitching deck at night. All the pilots were "bolters" or missed on their first try.

The flight controllers were giving up the mojo for them as the attempted to land.

Fravor was last man in.

"Give up the mojo for Fravor."

"Nah...he doesn't need it."

"You're right."

He sat it on deck first try.
