I found the C-2 catapult launch from Enterprise quite disorienting, at least in the passenger area in back. The C-2 COD (carrier onboard delivery) is essentially an E-2 Hawkeye without the radome. Like most military passenger setups (not jump seats), the seats face aft and there are no windows. The catapult delivered about 5g's, which is interesting when you are facing backwards, "hanging" in the straps, with no visual reference. My earlier C-1 COD flights off Kittyhawk were much less violent but those boats sure look tiny from the air. Both of those carriers are now "retired". I feel old.
