As we speak, turf is being layed on either side of all USN carriers to facilitate their use by less able virtual pilots!

But had to stear off the angled deck to avoid a drink.

Then there was this.

But a bit of discretion was called for.

Methinks a bit of a challenge comming on here (now where's me AN-225? :ymdevil: ).

Indeedy. Biggest aircraft you can onto the carrier then? :((

PS. The VC-10 was a bolter (just in case it looked like a landing).
