Agree. Mine, from worse to worst:
3. Blown tire landing
2. No-flap landing aboard ship
1. Bird strike on takeoff (at night) -- could not see out of front windscreen
Fly long enough, and you'll have emergencies, the worst of them close to the ground during launch or recovery.
I was going to say that, but I wasn’t sure. I guessed. And I guessed incorrectly. That is why I don’t fly airplanes!
No flap aboard ship? What kind if airplane. I had a no flapper once in a Tomcat. The LSOs asked me a couple times if I was comfortable bringing it aboard. Of course I said “sure.” After I landed they said they were talking about giving me a couple k off an S-3 and sending me back to Atsugi 5 days before the ship pulled in. I was pissed, we really needed a code word for that, like cough divert cough cough Atsugi.
