Reminds me of the famous LSO call when we were doing our Jerry
Tuttle-EX in the North Atlantic, clobbered w/fog "Keep it coming
Hummer, we hear you..."
When we got back from shimmia we were in the landing pattern there was a 45
knot xwind at 1200 feet the fis was down to less that 3/4 mile. The call was
"99 taxi lights on in the landing pattern you won't see the deck until about
100' " that's only about 40' above the flight deck. For my approach the ball
call was clara they said keep it coming. At about 1/2 mile it was paddles
contact at 150' i called ball one right for line up and I got an OK 2 wire with
a PNUAR that was when I saw the ship!
This insanity can be addictive.
