During the Korean War, a friend of mine flew some staff officers to a
carrier in an L-17 (military version of the Navion) to help plan the
Inchon invasion. Apparently, there were several Navions involved and it
happened more than once. They had no arresting gear, but probably didn't
need it, either.


Was ysour friend a Naval Aviator? If not, did he get some training in
carrier landings?
