Lone Kestrel,
Thanks. By all accounts Hoser was a great pilot and I'm having no luck yet as to finding out who would have said "no kill's like a guns kill on Hoser!". Maybe Dale Snodgrass catching Hoser in a bad mood day??
Pants pissing stuff those videos on night carrier landings. I heard landing on British carriers was more of challenge than the american supercarriers in the era of the fast heavy jets (Vixen, Bucc, F4) but I guess even that may not have been as bad as landing the Crusader on 27 charlies (Oriskany, Bon Homme Richard etc)??
