Always Uncomfortable.
Don’t know about you folks, but anytime one of us here at World War Wings sees a movie, show or even short clip of anyone underwater we tend to hold our breath. It’s pretty odd, but we do it anyway. It’s an extremely uncomfortable thing to watch and we sure hope we’ll never be put into a situation like that.
When you’re a naval aviator, however, there is a chance you might be strapped in a cockpit and headed under.

Can you imagine having to go through that and remain cool-headed?
