UAV Carrier Ops

Unread post by retiredVTT » Sun Nov 24, 2013 1:15 pm

This is fascinating footage of takeoff and landing a UAV from a Carrier.

Imagine the excitement of participating in this. What is also interesting about the footage is that the takeoff occurred in May while the landing footage is from July. You don't suppose that after the takeoff in May, they thought, "oh crap, how do we land this thing..?" Another couple of months goes by, and "I think we have the landing figured out..!"
