Wensleydale, that's cheating!
Some years back (decades actually) I blagged a trip on the USS Independence during a NATO Exercise. The deck landing in the C-2A Grumman Greyhound COD was an experience never to be forgotten too, especially as the TACAN went TU halfway out in the fog.
The following day, at dawn, the carrier was "buzzed" by the Bear at what must have been less than 50 feet above the top of the island's radar antennae. Now that was noisy!
