Great shots Chuck. ;)

Any particular reason to land a C-130 on a Nimitz?

Well done Chuck... :)

Several years ago I got to land a Herc "C130" Simulator on an aircraft carrier.

Don't think that didn't move you in your seat, there were three of us in the Simulator along with one of our son's the Instructor (dam show off)... ;D.

On an instrument approach to a land base I had everything hunky dory when the little bugger shut off the instrument lights...
When I asked for a flashlight he said..."But dad...you always told us to be like Boy Scouts and alway always Be Prepared"...Kids.... ::)

Again well done Chuck... ;)

P.S.
