You know, I'd honestly have to think about it. The landing would have to be perfect, otherwise you'd end up bouncy, and probably flipped over.

Jeep carriers didn't really count as "big." They were flat bottomed with poor weight distribution so they rode poorly, especially empty, like a modern gator. Not saying that the destroyers weren't even worse off (Halsey's Typhoon sank as many destroyers and killed nearly as many sailors as Bull's Run) but it's not like a modern fleet carrier, or even a contemporary fleet carrier.

Also, Halsey's Typhoon

This is what happened when a Navy S-3 decided it wanted to get intimate with a thunderstorm. Pics via somebody on Facebook.

Not sure of the date these were taken but a crew took off out of NAS Fort Worth, and the crew on apparently their own volition, decided they would fly right through a thunderstorm. They encountered 3 inch hail, severe turbulence, and the tail section was struck by lightning.







Notice one of the sidepods is missing as well, and the plane had to be helped back by ATC because I think the windshield was also cracked significantly.

The Forrestal was decommissioned in '93, as was CVW-6, so those are some old pictures.

Fairly sure they'd be more then capable of flying IFR with nav beacons, and making an ILS landing, considering it's possible with an aircraft that isn't even rated for it, I'd hope it's possible with a military aircraft.

Quite a few Navy jets don't have the ability to fly ILS's. Not sure if the Viking could or not.

They probably used the tacan to get close to home and then a PAR to get them on the ground.

Dear diary, I got another erection today at work. SO embarrassing, but kinda hot. The CO asked me to fix up his dress uniform. I had stayed late at work to move his badges 1/8" to the left and pointed it out this morning. 1SG spanked me while the CO watched, once they caught it. Tomorrow I get to start all over again...

Gentlemen, let's broaden our minds!
When visibility is below 1/4 NM or less, I manually vector in our helicopters back to the ship using our radar. If they aren't visual within 200 yards and there is no divert... well, that hasn't happened yet.

Here's the original video :nms: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=4e2_1365928728 :nms:

It's from Syria, looks like it was posted by some pro-Assad group. I'm guessing a smallish shell (23mm maybe?) blew through the wall and sent a chunk into his face.

You can see the aftermath at the end of the video.

Fake edit: Googling 'liveleaks face explode syria' will also bring up a video of a kid with his jaw blown off, fully conscious and responding. Literally one of the worst things I think I've ever seen.

Looks like small shell hits wall corner, hits face. And judging from how he doesn't go down, but flinches, it looks like he lives, at least a while.
