She is a commercial pilot… I said a female military pilot. I don’t trust any commercially train pilot whether a male or female. It is easy to tell them apart especially when landing.
Seriously? How? Because they “stick” the landing hard with a tail hook? Navy pilots in a crosswind? Then there’s that icy runway in Anchorage, max gross weight where you want it solid! The lack of knowledge on this thread is weird… how did people become experts on everything they haven’t done?
Did you miss the part where I said I was a Navy H-46 pilot? You think it is easy to land on a Navy Aircraft Carrier? Or an Ammo ship where you have 2 feet clearance for your main mounts before you go over the side of the ship on a ship that is pitching and rolling? You must be Wonderwoman because those of us who have flown in that type weather have been to funerals of those who didn’t land the landing.
No MayBella - I disagree with your commercially trained pilot comment… seriously? We all have our strong points - airports don’t go up and down! But carriers face into the wind.
And the carrier is still going up and down! I don’t know if you have been on a carrier in the Atlantic but the Atlantic Ocean is not flat. I’ve been in seas up to 35 feet… granted, we were not flying and everyone was strapped in. But we fly in bad weather. My best friend and her co-pilot got vertigo in an E-2… could not get out of it. She landed the plane with a bad case of vertigo and both her and her co-pilot were in medical for 3 days. If they had not landed on the flight deck, their next option was ditching the plane and sending the helo to pick them up out of the water. I don’t know one pilot who not rather land on a runway when there is a problem than having the ocean as your option.
You’re not listening to me. I am not not not minimizing your skills. Period. I am saying we all have different ones and the idea that a navy pilot is better than a marine pilot is better than an army pilot is better than a commercial pilot is all BS.

What is your background? Ever fly at sea? We all have flown over land and landed at airports.
