I’m not a pilot or Navy vet, but all reports stories and photos/films of planes landing on a carrier, have been consistent — Each landing is a “controlled crash” even in good weather and the plane having no mechanical problems.

I remember the ‘her’ that crashed and died years ago on a carrier. I think she was the first black female to attempt a anding on a carrier.

Such accidents were once thoroughly investigated by the Navy and individuals were held accountable. Now if such investigations are performed equity and gender are given high consideration ahead of accountability. The collisions at sea are a case on point.

Landing an aircraft on a carrier is probably the most difficult task there is - topped only by doing it at night.

Now we have to recover the plane before the Chinese do.

could swear I read something similar to this a few weeks ago, except we had to recover a plane before the Russians did.

I don’t know how it is today but back in the 90s the Carl Vinson was the Armpit of the Navy
