Naw I'll just put it on some air mattresses and float it on the lake. Then do it all fpv while doing a headstand...:Yawn:This is it! The culmination of blood, sweat, tears and maybe some stupidity? Enjoy!

That's the whole point. The challenge. But yeah even in hurricane Harvey as well as Sandy when I was stationed in Newport News (Ft Eustis) Virginia. I flew in both because it's a challenge many wont take and plus I was just bored and needed to test some modifications I made to my planes at the time. Me and one other guy was there. He flew his parkzone wildcat, while I flew an F35 that I pulled the 65mm fan out of to install a 70mm and added retracts. It flew well, but disappeared here and there in the mist of the storm. However I got her down right at my feet and picked her up and to my truck. Then in Harvey I flew my fpv wing in that. Honestly that was very cool, having the plane almost sitting still with the airspeed indicator showing 65mph. Had to come in very low and then almost dive her to the ground to get her down safely. It was a pain but so much fun. Point is, never doubt your flying capability, challenge it.

That carrier challenge video was great! I had been wanting to see something like that done well. They should install a PLAT Cam on the deck so that an LSO (Landing Signal Officer) can guide in the pilot on the right glide slope.
Here is the view from a PLAT cam in DCS, which by the way just recently added carrier operations.
