If that would have been me I would have had to at least chirp the tires
A brief deck touch would have been special
ALL of this is a dumb move. Risk taxpayers money so hollywood gets their fix. These anti-americans need to go take a hike.
$11,000/hr was paid to the Navy for all this.
True, that wouldn't cover an accident but I'll bet Navy was flying that jet.

You may rest assured a carrier qualified aviator was in one of the front seats, and probably paid a sag wage! Can you say the 'airwing commander'?
11K an hour covers NOTHING if something goes wrong here. NOTHING
Well, not NOTHING.
Anyway, those vehicles are designed to have aircraft approach at speed so I'm sure it was just another day in ATC

Take out a few parked f18's and 11K is effectively NOTHING.
Does Navy pay for/use insurance?
The US military is 'self insured', it's called "your taxpayer dollar"!
