Here is a vid= eo on Carrier Qualifications that brings out the macho in youngaviators.  Once qualified, it places them in a special Wa= rrior category, and
they live and/or die by it. &= nbsp;

At about 2:49min into= the video, I see what appear to be lights on the nose. For those in the nos= e, are they an external display
of AOA for the benefit= of the LSO?
