It is truly said in the Naval fighter community, that

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.


So which is greater, MadMax's abject ignorance about
aviation, or his mind-boggling willingness to flaunt it so
openly in aviation froups?

I was tempted to say the former, but it's a tough call if
you think about it.
