Landing on an aircraft carrier
Landing on an aircraft carrier [video]
Neat video of a jet landing on an aircraft carrier. At first I thought the landing angle was wrong and then said, "Duh", I guess they know what they are doing! picked by Phildo 3 years ago

That's an S-3 Viking... one of the slowest aircraft in the airwing. In a fighter (like an F-18), it is nearly double the approach speed.

The neat thing about a carrier landing is that when they touch down on deck, they slam the throttle forward to full speed... counter to what one might instinctively do (want to put on the breaks).

The reason is that if they miss the arresting wire (or it breaks), they have enough power to take back off again and come around for another try. In a fighter plane, they land and go to afterburner which shoots a 50 foot flame out of each exhaust (very cool at night!!).
