Make sure include the U-2 in that list..

Will do, assuming I ever get around to digging out the markings for the
plane that pulled that stunt.

That would be the Intrepid, I think, but that's so far removed from any
kind of operational use that I'll disqualify it.

Oh yea, P-47s flown off in the PTO, complete with CAT launches.

Projects like that are never ending.

Didn't know about that one, but yes, there seems to be an overwhelming
urge to get just about anyting that will fly to work from a carrier.

ISTR that an active-duty carrier once hosted, while in port, a radio-controlled
model aircraft event; I saw photos a long time ago.

How would you build a scale model of a scale model?

Oh, and don't forget the V-2 that was launched from the Midway...
