I doubt he'll actually make the landing. It's very technically challanging and requires alot of training. The President was in the Air Force, which doesn't do Aircraft Carriers.

No way. He was not a naval aviator nor carrier landing qualified, and it's probably been about twenty years since he's been at the controls of a warplane. But I do understand that he's in the co-pilot position and will be hands-on during part of the flight.
Pray G*d everything goes alright, but other than FDR, Eisenhower, and Reagan I don't know of any president who's been more loved by the uniformed services and this will only make that feeling stronger. I can't think of anything that inspires more loyalty than a commander who's willing to put his own a** on the line with his troops. That's been true from Alexander to Caesar to Napoleon to Patton.
