😏 Pinky Recovery - EA-18G Growler Cockpit View - Low Holding to the Spin Pattern to the Overhead

This is a "pinky" or sunset recovery aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71), somewhere in the Arabian Gulf. You will see me pass overhead the ship three times.

At time 0:14, I am in low holding (point 1) at angels four, waiting for my turn to recover. After the aircraft holding below me vacate their altitudes, I can follow them down to the overhead.

At time 2:30, I enter the spin pattern. My interval boltered, was past the bow, and had yet turn downwind, so I spun it for the overhead.

At time 4:12, I broke on my interval. Only the tanker trapped behind me.

Time to get some grub before the night page. All in a day's work. I'm just happy to be here.
