Extremely lucky chaps. You can see the ship start to pitch/heave and the aircraft gets airborne as it's not fastened down. The guy on the starboard side is so lucky but he probably had no idea the a/c would lift off. How the hell the pilot managed to keep the a/c onboard is unbelievable. Good piloting skills or a spot of luck?

As mentioned above, sea state is obviously out of limits for the equipment available and a/c.
