What does he mean by signature move?

I tried to become a naval aviator while in engineering school at age 18 in 1970. I already had a private pilot's license. But the Viet Nam war was soon to end in a few years. A Naval aviator came to the airport at Melbourne, Fl. with his T-34 and gave us aerobatic airplane rides, so long as we took the written exam. After graduation, I went to Lakewood N.J. to take a Navy physical exam. While there I met several Navy aviators all complaining that they were getting practically no flying time because the war was winding down. Right then and there I knew my future was going to take a different turn. Timing is everything. I love this channel.

@@zq3yp Back in my day, FIT was an engineering school but it also had a separate flight school that competed with Embry-Riddle. There were a few other smaller FBOs at Melbourne Airport. That airport has certainly grown. The Navy recruiter did some amazing things with the T-34, which was a beefed-up Bonanza with a stick instead of a yoke. If anything, he showed me how to use proper rudder control when doing a wingover. The good old days. My dad was a Chief Petty Officer during WWII. I grew up loving the Navy. I still like the Blues over the Thunderbirds, but both are great flying teams. I hope you enjoyed having your pilot's license. Be safe. Go Navy.

Lot's of mad respect for you and to you! I will say you make it seem so easy. Carrier aviation is ball/breast breaker. Cat launches and traps, and 12 hours on and 12 off, six days a week, with planes taking off and landing over your head while you're racked out, gets old. There is an element of "what else are you gonna do?" but it does wear on you. Then add the responsibilities to the CAG and all of the other military responsibilities just adds more stress. Once you're off the deck, add the stresses of tanking, ordinance release, combat aviation. So many eyes on every trap and grades. Mess up a time or two, and you're out. Not whining-just point out the realities to people who think once a nugget is qualed, it's all gravy after that. It's a tough and unforgiving mistress.
