Navy Night Carrier landings, pitching deck!

Here are the links to Navy F-18's landing on the carrier Nimitz.  I referred to these a few posts ago, but coud not find them on youtube.
Hang on to your seats!
Thank you to Gene Hamner, another former Air Force vet who found these for us.
Gene was also a Raven flying an O-1 Bird-dog in Laos as an F.A.C.  Balls!

This is the kind of flying that Carson did in the Navy.  There is nothing more challenging in aviation.
