I also like the one about the young student flying with the old crusty
WW II veteran instructor. It was the students first flight into a busy
field and the pattern was packed with airplanes. The student was
getting pretty nervous and agitated and asked the instructor if this
wasn't dangerous with all these airplanes so close by. The instructor
looked all around, up and down and slowly said, "Don't worry, son, they
aren't shooting at us."

I guess stress is all relative.


I've read that nighttime carrier landings are actually more stressful than
being shot at.


Especially if you are a lawyer as well as an aviator and you have night
vision problems.

It is truly said in the Naval fighter community, that there are 3 things
that comprise the ultimate in a physical sensation a Naval aviator can
experience in life; a good landing, an orgasm, and a good ****. A night
landing on a carrier is the one event that allows you to experience all
three at the same time.

I'm surprised that landings would be more esteemed than take-offs. I saw an
in-cockpit video of a pilot's first actual catapult take-off from a carrier
and he sounded pretty impressed by it.

So which is greater, MadMax's abject ignorance about
aviation, or his mind-boggling willingness to flaunt it so
openly in aviation froups?

I was tempted to say the former, but it's a tough call if
you think about it.

Apparently he thinks it is harder to take off than land on a carrier.
I've done both in a COD, and there is something to seeing the smallness
of the ship against the open ocean and watching the deck moving all over
the place as you got closer.

No, he doesn't. Read more carefully.

Yes, he doesn't think at all. He just spews.
