Charles- Suppose someone tried to land an F4F Wildcat on a modern American
aircraft carrier. We'll give the carrier a few hours to prepare, and lets
assume
the carrier is at sea and moving. BRBR

Can a WWII fighter land on a modern carrier? Can it get back in the air?
BRBR

Pull the rods and get about 35 knots and let the A/C use the whole deck, yes to
both is what I think.
