Air force pilots are just that.. pilots. they don't have collateral duties and the opportunity to lead like the navy does. their deployments are shorter and their bases are in the middle of nowhere, though air force bases are generally nicer. training is different too.. the navy trusts that as an officer you have the time management skills to study on your own, whereas the airforce will keep you on base all day whether you're flying or not. the air force seems to be more into memorizing math formulas and precise flight planning where the navy is more concerned in your ability to perform under pressure and being flexible. Navy is unique in that we land on ships... though not all navy pilots land on ships. Air force does have some cool planes though... B2, F117, F22.. etc.. navy wings are gold. air force wings are silver

I am not familliar with the US military but I would say US navy pilots operate mainly from aircrft carriers and USAF pilots operate from field bases.

Navy pilots can land jets on air craft carriers.

Sweet-T summed it up pretty well. I should mention though that AF pilots get alot more cockpit time over their careers that Navy pilots. Due to the no other duties part. The Navy sends you to different jobs out of the plane to learn a broader skill-set.
