A slightly different CAG story.

One of the many crosses that a junior Stoof CAPC (Carrier Air Plane
Commander) had to bear was riding "shotgun" with nuggets during FCLPs.

One night I had just finished with nugget number 3 and thought I was done
when the LSO directed me to taxi to the platform for one more. I thought
that was unusual, as we generally switched seats on the squadron line.
But
I headed over and my nugget climbed out of the left seat and was I
surprised
when CAG 56 hisself climbed in!



What's the protocol for that moment ?


Do you shake his hand, do the equivalent of a slaute or what ?


I can imagine that both pilots would be tense about screwing up in public.
