Rather stunned by the comparative size of the tug boats. This thing is small. First carrier quals are going to be interesting.

Real interesting. The Chinese can only put one plane at a time in the elevators and they barely fit at that. They have to be very careful since the back wheel has to lay exactly on the edge of the elevator so the nose can miss the wall.

Very slow operations to be sure.
