[NSRCA-discussion] Why I Fly Pattern

[Matthew Frederick]

Does "landing" on a carrier deck really qualify as landing? My instructor in 
high school ROTC always said it was more of a controlled crash than 
anything... He was a former F-111 pilot... Kinda funny cuz my dad was an 
electrical engineer on the F-111 test program during Vietnam, and he says 
the same thing.
