This video proves that sometimes sitting in the back can be just as rewarding as sitting in the front! Marine Weapon Systems Officers (WSOs) fly in the missionized rear cockpit of F/A-18D Hornets assigned to 'All-Weather' fighter attack squadrons and work as a vital component of the F/A-18D weapons concept.
