After watching that show, Carrier, on pbs and watching the hassle of the jets landing on a pitching deck in 30' seas, Jet pilots have a very dangerous job, their timing and reflexes have to be unbelievable.
Nothing again the carrier folks, but do a search on LAMPS MKIII and see what it's like to land on a frigate in 30' seas

I have been fortunate to fly every type of plane. They all have their merits. BTW, a good friend of mine has a son entering his third year at USNA!
