Paddles to the Platform! - T-45 USS GW Carrier Qualification

Welcome aboard the LSO platform on the USS George Washington (CVN-73). Today, we are training Naval Flight Students to land on an aircraft carrier for the first time. To pass, students require ten traps, two touch-and-goes, and must meet GPA and boarding rate requirements.

For CQ, we have a whole lot of LSOs on the platform. Both NAS Kingsville and NAS Meridian have students training, so you will see LSOs from the respective student squadrons cycle behind the pickle for their passes.

If you enjoy this jam, make sure to check out my COD recovery voiceover, where I breakdown LSO duties and responsibilities. It's a quick, two-minute jam that might peak your curiosity. The link is below.
