Oh now Big John,
Sounds like alittle bit of Air Force jealousy there! All I will say
is I have never seen any Air Force pilot land a plane on a carrier at
night The Air Force has good pilots but I would give the edge to Navy
and Marine pilots who can land on a match stick at sea.

Landing isn't the only skill required of a pilot. All of that practice
landing on carriers likely means that other skills didn't get the same
level of attention afforded Air Force pilots.
