It's not landing baby...

One of my favorite sayings: It's more like a controlled crash...


Flight deck operation for the last remaining Tomcat F-14s

And a nice clip of the pilot who *thought* he was landing on a carrier deck:


Edwards AFB, 1982

Moral of the story: Never have a naval aviator fly passenger planes. I'm sure he will fly very well, but the passenger seats might be a bit messy at the end of the flight...

Don't seem to see what the problem is. I used to land on aircraft carriers all the time when I was a kid. Just following the flashing on-screen directions, and you'll land safely and get 10000 bonus points to boot.
