Pitching Deck Carrier Operations

Landing on a Carrier deck during the day time while it unpredictably pitches back and forth might be a daunting task but take away all visual references during night operations and you have a pretty dangerous mix. The two clips below are from the TV series "Carrier" on PBS and they showcase pitching deck operations during both day and night.

"The three best things in life are a good landing, a good orgasm, and, a good bowel movement. The night carrier landing is one of the few opportunities in life where you get to experience all three at the same time." - Anonymous
