I’m strapped into the cockpit of my F/A-18 Super Hornet, the WSO A/C systems glowing green before me. The M61 Vulcan, AIM-9 Sidewinders, and MJU-7A flares are all primed and ready. On the deck, other jets roar to life, and the carrier cuts through the stormy seas. This is it—mission time. I’m not just a pilot; I’m a weapon system, and every second brings me closer to the sky.
