Well im sure you guys are all familiar with this plane.  After recently getting back to some regular online flying in Jane's F-18 (which I might add, although being years old now, is still a great Super Hornet sim), and so happen to be bumping into some nice freeware addons, ive decided to to recreate some of the fun in FS2004  All of this is freeware... as you all know, KBT's Super Hornet, plus 3Wire version 1.0, and this nice CVN-68 found somewhere on flightsim.com!  Anyways.

On cat... all checks complete, handing off!


After flying for a while, im inbound on carrier.... since this is a Carrier Qual, ya gotta do this Top Gun style via flyby!


Going to Marshal point!  Tail hook down, master arm off


Rocket Bird is 3/4 of a mile, call the ball!  (yes I know the water isnt blending... perhaps I gotta switch to the standard water textures...  :()


Coming to a screeching halt after catching the wire... full afterburner!!


Home sweet home.

Nice flying

Wait, you came into the carrier deck with full burner?  

And you qual'd?  LOL

standard procedure is once you touch the deck you go full A/B incase you miss the cable and have to abort the landing.

son as you hit the deck you push the throttle to the firewall,that way if ya miss the wire you dont get wet.
(and piss off the taxpayers)

Yes, I know...but I read it as he came in on final with full burner.

Lol no, catching the wire then going full burner so I dont go swimming
