Speaking of that, were you in on the thread about autopilots and
hijackers? Is it true that autopilots can land airplanes so precisely
that they had to introduce dither so that they didn't wear ruts into
the runways from all of the airplanes landing in the same spot?
Thanks,

I heard that the F14s now land so accurately on the carriers that the
centre arrester cable has to be replaced often, but the others show no
signs of wear
at least that's what the man in the black helicopter said...
Must have, seeing that the last F-14 was retired some years ago.
