I can land a biz jet on a CVN if I have to without batting an eye.  It's not rocket surgery.

And with that, we can probably end this discussion.

I'm thinking if the divers pulled him out by his foot he must have gotten the harness released.  If he was still strapped in it would have been hard to get to his foot.

I considered that as well.  I have a feeling we will never know what happened.  It is a sad event.   At least he saved the airplane.

I didn't realize an A-7 counted as a biz jet.   Cool!   :aok

Vraciu, if you are going to claim to be a naval aviator, you must supply some evidence.  What did you fly? What unit were you with? What squadron were you in? What years?

I wasn't a Naval Aviator.  But that's beside the point.

And when I landed on a CV I had more to do with it than you did as 250 lbs of chewed bubble gum ballast, that I can assure you.

If a C-130 can land on a boat I guarantee you there are easily half a dozen biz jets that can.   Not all, but certainly two I am rated in, if not three.   Give me lots of WOD though just cuz.
