Not gonna lie, the VV really dicks with my scan for the first few passes at the boat, especially if mom is making wind. I reaaaaally want to put it smack dab in the middle of the LA, right next to the lens.
Good point
My guess it it's harder without either! I think any and all night landings should be as easy as possible.

Damnit, without that HUD and auto!!!
One of the most decorated aviation crews in history.
Pilot Lt. Clyde Lassen (seated in cockpit) was awarded the Medal of Honor for extending a daytime, over-water mission into a night penetration of North Vietnam to rescue an F-4 Phantom crew.
Co-pilot Lt. Leroy Cook (right, with M16 rifle) received the Navy Cross.
The other two flight crew members, Bruce Dallas and Don West (at rear door, with weapons), received Silver Stars.

Had a beer with Bruce Dallas last fall at the I-Bar. One of my top 5 moments in uniform. The discussion quickly turned to trading stories about how best to spend liberty time in Guam. Needless to say, there are some things (very few) which haven't changed in the HC/HSC community.
