The DoD should package videos and stills like this from airshows and Fleet Weeks around the country and send them off to members of the International Bad Actor’s Club (Mahmoud, Hugo, Kim Jong Il, etc.) as Christmas cards to just let them know what tip-of-the-military-industrial-complex-iceberg goodies are setting underneath our own Christmas tree and how we’re just… you know… doing this for fun.
At one point in this sneak pass, it appears the jet can't be any more than 15 above the water. Woo-hoo!, indeed.

Go Navy. This display of aerial prowess reminds me of the time that U.S. fighters quickly dispatched two Libyan jets as they approached an American carrier in the Med in the mid-1980's. Ed Meese was asked (and implicitly criticized) about waiting for five and a half hours to wake the President and inform him of the crisis. His response: (from memory, I can't find this quote) "When a horse swishes its tail to shoo a fly, it's a crisis for the fly, not the horse."
Glad to have sent the photos, they engorged all my spongey tissues. (goose bumps that is)
