Multiple angles of Naval Aviators conducting a flawless landing in their E-2 Hawkeye on the USS Theodore Roosevelt in 2020.
Note the numerous control inputs required to make the landing onto a moving ship in the open ocean.
May 19 1956: a US Navy F-9 [141065] crashes while landing on Carrier USS Essex (Location of ship unknown). Fighter broke landing gear on touchdown. Aircraft slid off deck and fell into sea, on the carrier´s aft. Pilot was rescued by a support helicopter on standby.
Harrier elevator ride... had never seen this before
"The "Farley Takeoff," developed by legendary test pilot John Farley, involved hovering a Harrier jet at 100 feet before pitching the nose up to a steep 60-degree angle while still in a hover.
Once in this vertical position, he would apply maximum power to "rocket climb" away, a "seat of the pants" maneuver that was strictly forbidden for Royal Air Force and Royal Navy service pilots due to its extreme difficulty and lack of instrument guidance.
