Mr seacue knows when to keep his distance and dignity - what little is left.

Resume play. But play nice.

Edited to add:
It does seem a stretch to consider a boat to be either
A piece of land where aircraft can take off and land, or
An established area of water where aircraft can take off and land.

A boat / ship is pretty mobile by definition, so its "established area" is established only fleetingly. An aircraft carrier provides facilities for both take-off and landing, but would fit much better in a What Ship? thread.

Use of a catapult may accomplish the take-off process, but I've never heard of an aircraft managing to alight on a catapult.

Let's stick to fixed location aerodromes, either on land or fixed areas of water with passenger or cargo facilities. Pan AM at Dinner Key, Coral Gables, Miami would be an example. Lakes in northern Canada might be border-line cases unless used very regularly.

Seacue has spoken in his most-pompous manner. He'll now go and sulk

Let's get the thread moving again..
