Night carrier landing in Navy jet

Here is a night carrier landing of a Navy jet plane.  This is in calm weather, no rain.

Try to imagine landing at night in very bad weather!

This is what Carson did in F-14's during his Navy career.  What a guy!
Then he went on to airline flying and retired from that.  He delivers helicopters for fun.

I could not find the series of three:  night, bad weather, pitching deck.  If someone finds it, please let me know.  Thanks.
