Hi @ all! 
Just came home from lateshift and had some kind of idea on the way home...
As i am basicly a land-based fighter pilot i don't do carrier landings very often.
In fact my airplane ends up in pieces most of the times i tried. :-?
So here is my idea: Would it be possible to create a small piece of concrete
working as a "land-based carrierland training area"? Eventually equipped with
the catchropes used on carriers. So there would be a training possibility for this
without the danger of crashing against thousands of tons of solid steel and then be
found like 60 years later on the ground of the ocean.
I think it also has been practiced like that in history.
Just a thougt...
greets,
Vmax
