We lost a legacy f-18 and aviator from my squadron VFA-131 Wildcats out of NAS Cecil Field fla off the coast of Italy on Dec-8 1987 aboard the USS Coral Sea , All that was found was his helmet and part of the starboard drop tank , Im assuming they got the wreckage but didnt see it happen a sad day indeed , Rest easy Lt Joe ( REPO ) Mullany from youngstown ohio !Dumb question, interested in “recovery operations” . However this video is a brief technical break down of carrier operations. Will there be a actual “aircraft recovery” video ?Why are they going into detail about the Nimitz class aircraft carriers, when before you know it we’re going to have aircraft carriers that don’t use catapults run by steam anymore. As shown in the new Ford class that is all electric? Perhaps she discusses it later in the video as I did not finish it yet back to the video.
