spitfire

during the early, dark days of WW2, when england was about to lose MALTA. USS Wasp ferried a group of spitfires, they took off with drop tanks and went towards malta...one fellow dropped his tank early on and couldn't reach anywhere, so he came back and landed using virtually every foot of the deck (no hook). but he made it.

...

there are some third and 4th rate navies out there that might be looking for something to do with their marginal carriers...maybe you should try argentina or brazil.

about 25 years ago I landed on a simulator's carrier, in a metroliner...

BUT IN THE MEANTIME...go rent ''the bridges at toko ri''.
