[FA-18C]

Java - landing daytime is just plane a blast, night in good weather or a moon is actually sometimes fun, less so on a "inside a black cat dark" night. But landing was never the scary part for me, rather it was the night cat shot with no horizon. You are along for the ride for awhile with only fate and God on your side, and hopefully the engineers and mechs got it right. You even get used to it after a couple hundred times... My absolute least favorite part of a night flight was taxiing after landing when they took you over the top of the shuttle on the bow and swung you 90 degrees to park. Your ass is swing out over the edge of the flight deck, and the attention span of the director who works 18 hour days is all that is between parking and getting a coke, or swimming. Still miss all of it...
