"Wave off Foul Deck!" - EA-18G Growler Light Division Case I Recovery from Low Holding

EA-18G Growler 3-ship recovery aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) on the backside of a 1.5-hour training sortie somewhere in the Arabian Gulf.

At the beginning of the video, the light division is in low holding overhead mom at angels 4, waiting for the deck to clear and the fighters below to recover. After a couple of descending laps, it was our turn for the overhead. Although you don't see -3 in the video, you see me "kiss him off" at time 10:20, right before I break in sequence.

At time 12:30, the LSOs wave me off for a foul deck. The preceding aircraft did not clear the landing area when I was in the groove. You can see the red flashing lights on the FRESNEL lens, indicating that is time for me to go around. No worries. One more lap around the pattern, then I'm safe on deck. Thanks, Paddles. Fly Navy!
