It is truly said in the Naval fighter community, that there are 3 things

experience in life; a good landing, an orgasm, and a good ****. A night
landing on a carrier is the one event that allows you to experience all
three at the same time.

I'm surprised that landings would be more esteemed than take-offs. I saw an
in-cockpit video of a pilot's first actual catapult take-off from a carrier
and he sounded pretty impressed by it.
