US Aircraft Carrier Landing - Navy EA-6B Prowler on the USS Ronald Reagan

Later that night (on my very first night trap) I knew the jet I was flying had no "Bullseye" (ICLS) so my only option was to use ACLS mode II (the Prowler can't do mode I or Ia).  After I started the approach, I soon realized that "needles" weren't working either so I had to switch to mode III (no instruments)...it was a pretty tough first night trap.  After I landed my ECMO was yelling saying "You're the fucking man!!  That's gonna be an underline OK pass" - I just looked at him and said "I don't wanna do that again."  
BTW - my LSO gave me a "Fair Pass."  No pity points from him I guess ;)
