What do you do when you perform a "touch and go"?

they do that to get practice landings( they have to have an cetain amount of lnding to stay qualified) with ou jaming the deck and taking time to un hook taxi hook up to the cat then launch again. I imagine it would be fun to fly one

Alright. You should join the airforce! I mean you can! I would love to join the Marines but I live in fuckin' Sweden and I guess that's not possible if you live in another country.

So you'll be flying those F-18 soon? Yes they do, but it's not the Marines! The Swedish army is a bunch of kids running around, playing hide and seek. And I also want to go to Iraq. Not that easy being in the Swedish army!

Looks like a lot of fun
Try to land an expensive jet on a even more expensive ship and trying also not to get killed.
Wow... talking about pressure
Nice pic.
