By far the most impressive video of a carrier landing that I've ever seen
was the C-130 Hercules landing on the USS Forrestall. I think it was in
1962, but
I'm not certain of the year. I used to have the video, but I musta lost it
in one
of the many PC upgrades I've gone through since then. I'm sure it's still
available
on-line somewhere,
and I'm sure one of the readers of this NG can tell us where.

The story that came with the video stated that the Herc did multiple
landings and take-offs, all without catapult or arresting gear, but I've
never seen any
video of a take-off.
