Nice looking! I know nothing about carrier ops or launching. We have nice long runways in the Air Force. But I do remember the Navy Pilots slamming them on the deck just to show off at Red Flag.

 

Navy landing vs any other: Flare to land, squat to pee.

...This is the first -14 I've seen in a desert scheme so to speak...

Hey BK, actually, it's primer. The airframe was being refurbished and was paintless. I found some pictures of an paintless airframe in a book and tried to recreate it. Regardless, glad you like it!
