In case some here are not aware 'megan' knows me from our time at NAS Nowra. 'megan' is a RANHFV Iroquois veteran pilot and general all round good fella. As he has made known he was trained in the USofA by the USN system in the late 1960s, thus was able to gain his wings in the T-28C Trojan deck landing aboard USS Lexington. I have mentioned not being able to have my wings confirmed by the RAN (provisional wings only upon graduatjion from the RAAF Basic/Advanced Flying Training Course at the end of 1968). My RAN wings confirmed as mentioned earlier I think once an arrest/catapult carried out.
'AscendCharlie' has a thread about 'BeachBall' his instructor with details about some of his comments in this thread in that old thread. I've attempted to find that thread but cannot. So some details will have to be created again here that he mentions. Meanwhile to show the bona fides of the time the 'study' was made, below is a video of LCDR Barry Diamond SP/XO Senior Pilot of VF-805 in 1975 when this video was made by our ABC News TV media (I think).

Earlier someone (I can check) mentioned 'video of pilot control movements' during a carrier approach. This one is self evident and I'll now look for a Super Etendard chappie doing the same....
