"It was attempting to land on the flight deck during night flights," he said. "The pilot ejected and was rescued using one of our helicopters."

IT was attempting to land? Did IT decide to land in the drink in direct disobedience to the pilot? (Sorry, I just think that's funny wording. Glad the pilot is okay.)

You know what they say about carrier landings....

No matter how cool you look landing on a carrier, you're still stuck on a boat in the middle of nowhere with 5,000 other men when you're done.
