Mudge a bolter is where the hook fails to snag one of the 4 CDPs (wires)
and and aircraft flies off the angel deck for another landing attempt. This is why they
go to full power when after they 'hit' the deck.

Hey, give the guy a break! You know he's always got gas, just be glad you didn't bunk near him-

OK...I knew they went to full power in case they missed all the cables. Just didn't know that was called a "bolter".

(Inspector...who was the "gas" remark meant for?

)

Grapes are also to be avoided because they reek of JP.

So, if a pilot picked up by an escorting destroyer is worth 5 gallons of ice-cream when returned, how much is a blown overboard "Grape" worth?!? Inquiring minds want to know!
