Step onto the adrenaline-fueled flight deck of the USS George Washington (CVN-73) as Navy Shooters undergo rigorous training in this captivating video. Witness the precision, focus, and teamwork required as these elite personnel hone their marksmanship skills in a dynamic and challenging environment.

Today we are on the bow, we are watching MIL power catapult shots during day carrier qualification. These pilots are Naval Flight Students, working towards their "wings of gold" on a hot August day, 75 miles east of Jacksonville, FL.

You may wonder why there are two Shooters (in yellow shirts) standing side-by-side, making similar hand signals. The Shooter in the FRONT is under instruction and is practicing the hand signal cadence of the fully-qualified Shooter behind him. This is the Navy-way of training personnel on the flight deck.

At time 2:28, a student did not line up on the catapult correctly, so the deck crew pushed the jet backwards for another try. T-45s only weight around 12,500 pounds, so we can push the jet back with a handful of Sailors. All other jets on the flight deck are too heavy to push and would be required to taxi off the catapult on their own power, turn around, then try to line up on the nose gear launch track again.

And a big thanks to the crew of the GW for giving us insight into their amazing world! You make this look easy.

Fly Navy!
