That's neat. I can't imagine trying to land on a carrier let alone land at night in a fighter with enough speed up to take off if needed.
And these are kids.

...Yeah, but they are sharp kids!! I assume the ship board pilot spots are somewhat difficult to get too.Graham said:That's neat. I can't imagine trying to land on a carrier let alone land at night in a fighter with enough speed up to take off if needed.

The drill was also build on a rocket launcher chasis (so we could advance an angle hole) so we were a very realistic target. We put up an American flag, a confererate flag and a white flag.. nothing worked.

The bombs were landing a mile or so away.

Be safe SF, and see if you can bring home a few guitars worth of that Madagascar Ebony!!

So gracefull, and it sounds like nothing else in the air!
