That's a flier - not just a pilot.  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

That was an extremely well executed, low level, in-flight arrestment in the short field gear.  That approach and landing took one hell of a lot of finesse...

That's not just a flier, that's an AUS flier; that's characteristic AUS deadpan.
