And the proof of that theory are drivers these days. Very few have acute car handling skills.

MAGIC CARPET is too hard to remember.
I saw what you did there.

How long before folks can not remember how to drive? They will likely remember how long after they are not allowed.

Landing an airplane is easy: all you have to do is run out of airspeed and altitude at the same time -- preferably at an airport if you want to avoid headlining the six o'clock news. Knowing how is something else all together.

Surprised no one has come up with a magnetic solution using the repelling forces of same polarity.

Fine and dandy, but what if the system conks out as they are always apt to do at inopportune times? Methinks the Navy better make dang sure that each of those fearless Naval Aviators know how to do it the old fashioned way and keep in practice.

By the way, did you know that the first person to successfully land his plane on an aircraft carrier was killed on his second attempt? An interesting historical fact. They were originally built to launch aircraft, not to land them.

They were originally built to launch aircraft, not to land them. Yep I knew that. We have came a long way from Jimmy Doolittle's one way bombing run on Japan.
