Carrier launch for unmanned aircraft
 

Interesting..wonder what the who the ground crew thought they were directing??

((anyone can take-off...landing is a much different story, not sure if it landed back on the carrier or somewhere else...)

Perhaps the Drone Pilot taxiing the drone onto the cat! It's "unmanned", not "unguided". Yes, it was trapped using the normal CDP. My nephew is flying off the Bush.

I noticed whoever was on the stick was having a bit of difficulty during taxi with break away thrust and speed control, did also notice the clip was cut during this. None the less neat stuff. Can't wait to see some landings.

Think it did some `bolters` on 17 May..

So another couple of years and fighter pilots will become useless.

arrested carrier landings scheduled to be completed within 60 days (already tested shore based).
