From the cockpit of a U.S. Navy F/A-18 Hornet, watch a precise final approach to USS Abraham Lincoln and the controlled touchdown on its moving flight deck.
A carrier landing demands exceptional timing and precision: line up with a narrow landing area, hold the glide path, and catch an arresting wire at high speed.
