Salute!

Well, Spaz, we get to see a short landing on a boat, finally.

A year or two ago I saw one here at Eglin and thot it was no big deal. The jet had all the doors open and came in fairly slow, then plopped down and rolled a few hundred feet and turned off.

I am not sure what the deal is with the "rolling" landing. Cannot be that hard, so maybe it's the support once on the deck. On a big boat it should be a faster trunaround than trapping on a wire.
