The flight deck environment where SkyT worked for a bit scared the f out of me: I never landed on an aircraft carrier at night, thank god...daytime was Jurassic Park.

I was a Final Checker in my Hornet gun squadron. Night ops on the flight deck of a carrier were my favorite (Yeah,maybe I'm a little strange...
). But the adrenaline rush, and the constant need to be 100% aware of your immediate surroundings really kept the blood flowing. The steamier the cats were, the better!
