Step onto the LSO Platform of the USS George Washington (CVN-73) and witness the intense initial carrier qualification of Naval Flight Students as they pursue their "Wings of Gold". In this jam, Training Air Wing One and Two LSOs provide crucial guidance and support to their students, ensuring their students remain safe and ultimately make the mark.
Initial carrier qualification is a solo event, so the nerves in the T-45C cockpits are especially high.
All Navy Carrier Aviators must initially qualify in the T-45C...for now. It sounds like this qualification is going to be moved to the FRS for TACAIR pilots, but E-2D students will likely still qualify in the T-45 for the foreseeable future. Time will tell.
Fly Navy!
