MORE CRASHES THAN LANDINGS

Some 1951 film of Sea Furys and Fireflys attempting carrier landings.

You couldnt pay me enough to attempt a carrier landing

Hi.
In FSX there is two types of carriers static ones, DONT try landing on these , and AI ones that leave port do a route then return to either same port or arrive at a different port and move at about 30 knts , these you can land and take off on , if you like a challenge try landing/takeoff on these, with the aerosoft catalina or capt sims C130 , i have done both , its scary , and that deck is real small , and yes it took a lot of practice before i succeeded.

Oh boy. Looks like those mechanics had a lot of work.

But if I imagine having to land one of those on a carrier is rather not try. I'm pretty sure you can't see the carrier offer the nose when on short final.

Thanks for sharing

I was amazed at how brave the camera man was. He nearly got hit a few times. Lots of missing tail wheels.
