Hello Japan

**Caption** This fighter jet pilot is strapped into the cockpit on a stormy aircraft carrier deck when the rain is absolutely hammering the canopy like someone turned a fire hose on it. He’s sitting there in full gear, hands on the controls, while the whole wet flight deck and ocean disappear behind sheets of water — then the catapult fires and the jet screams down the runway. The second it hits takeoff speed the rain vanishes instantly, blasted clean off the glass by nothing but raw airspeed like the jet just flipped a switch and said “wipers? We don’t need no stinkin’ wipers.” Would you ever climb into a jet and blast off a carrier in pouring rain like that? Or is this exactly why fighter pilots live in a different world from the rest of us?

No way they made those mistakes 😭💔🤣

Ahhhh the good old days
