I've landed, re-armed, and taken off the carrier in almost every available aircraft...Except the jets since you cant back up on the CV with them

But Sir!  You can!

I'll post a film tonight on how to do it in an Ar234.

Did someone say Victory?

...does that belong to you?  I remember you talking about buying a model ship a while back.

That is awesome.  I am very jealous.  Such a beautiful ship.

try taking off a cv with a heavy hellcat loaded with fuel, 1000lb bombs and rockets and landing it back on the cv 3 times without scratching it. it is something my squad does for a medal.

i drank a fifth of rum and a couple beers in a few hours till i finally got my hands steady enough to finally pull it off.
