If it was unauthorised then quite rightly so - it just occured to me that
for all of the hundreds of carrier takeoffs I've seen on video, not one was
a GA aircraft. I just wondered if any GA pilot has ever asked? Or if some GA
pilot knows the captain and has been given permission etc etc etc.


when the carriers are on R&R and are parked in gage roads off
fremantle we fly past and think "that'd be easy" however there is a 5
mile exclusion zone created around each carrier. air traffic control
watch it like a hawk.

my personal opinion is that it isnt hard but you have no chance of
finding out.
