That guy is a legend. His CO had to go apologize to the media saying this is not a cultural thing in the navy. His callsign was "Tess" and his last name was Stickles.
Flair, but no flare. We plunked the jet down on the aircraft carrier deck to avoid the tailhook snagging the arresting wires mid-flight and slamming the plane to the deck. We made fun of Air Force types with the saying, "Flare to land...squat to pee."
