The Final Countdown (1980)

George H. Strohsahl Jr.: Air Boss

Quotes 

• Air Boss : [the A-7 has just landed after the first time storm]  Crash on deck, crash on deck, all personnel respond now! Let's get out there and watch for fire!

• Pilot : [the Corsair is inbound to the Nimitz before the first time storm]  Nimitz, this is 412, I have an unsafe hook indicator, over.

  Air Boss : 412, roger unsafe hook. Recycle your hook.

  Pilot : Negative, I've tried that.

  Air Ops Officer : 412, your transmission's poor, say your fuel state.

  Air Boss : [over the intercom to the bridge]  Captain, Boss, that Corsair's in real trouble, can't get his tailhook down. I think we better take him in the barricade.

  Captain Yelland : Rig it!

• Air Boss : [Over PA to flight deck crew]  On the flight deck, we have an A-7 Corsiar in trouble, can't get his tail hook down. This is not a drill, repeat, this is not a drill. Now, rig the barricade! Foul deck, foul deck, this is no drill!
