Pattern Altitude
While listening to Lemoore approach today flying home, a few navy pilots were doing practice approaches. The controller would vector them in then clear them for a "Blue Sky Recovery." Anyone know what this is?
MooneyDude says he has no idea - probably a local approach pattern - and if anyone would know about esoteric Naval aviator phrases, it would be Commander MooneyDude, XO of his very own carrier fighter squadron!
Well, if he could knock off his CO, then it WOULD be his very own carrier fighter squadron.
He doesn't need to, he's already slotted for it next year.... He'll make Admiral before he retires.
