A tied down plane got washed off an elevator aboard the USS Midway (IIRC) some years back.
Whenever I had to ride brakes in a plane on the elevator in rough weather, I thought about it.

Whenever I had to ride brakes in a plane on the elevator in rough weather, I thought about it. I would too. Airdale work is dangerous even during calm seas..
