Tiger in Spain 0 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Squid humor... This is so cool to see in person. Whenever a carrier leaves the shipyard after an overhaul or maintenance period, they have to test out the catapults. Before getting underway, we crane several jalopys onboard and head out to the deep blue. Once in our "box" we send these junks up to the flight deck and hook 'em up to the cats and conduct load tests. It's amazing how far a steam powered catapult will fling a good medium sized car. Why are we here again in this God forsaken land? 126 is for sissies. I experienced 138 for a stretch of several days back in '03. I fear no heat!
