Nervous Fantail Taxi and Trap - EA-18G Growler Case I Recovery Cockpit View

EA-18G Growler case I recovery aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) in the Arabian Gulf. I caught the 4 wire and landed a little right. This trap was on the backside of a 1.5-hour training sortie.

Yellow Shirts and pilots work closely to precisely taxi 70+ million dollar aircraft inches from the edge of the flight deck. At time 5:30, you can see an example of this. In the EA-18G, the nose gear extends slightly behind the pilot, so at times when taxiing near the edge of the flight deck, the pilot's feet will be over the water when the the aircraft is in a turn. It's a little sketchy, especially at night. Thanks for watching. Fly Navy!
