I have a Lexicat sat on my lap.
How does it differ from a "puddy tat"?

But not flaps down in landing configuration, although I still think it would be able to land on an aircraft carrier.A Cessna 150 can do 125mph, I don't think an aircraft carrier can match that.
Your next mission, should you decide to undertake it...But not flaps down in landing configuration, although I still think it would be able to land on an aircraft carrier.
You know, in our navy, if you land on the wrong carrier, the graffiti sprayed on your plane is something awful. Stuff like "Please look after this bear, thank you, " and "please return to USS Kitty Hawk", and "USAF graduate".Your next mission, should you decide to undertake it...
If you it were the only place to land, would you mind?You know, in our navy, if you land on the wrong carrier, the graffiti sprayed on your plane is something awful. Stuff like "Please look after this bear, thank you, " and "please return to USS Kitty Hawk", and "USAF graduate".
I have no idea why I would be in such a situation, trying to land a plane with a tricycle landing gear and no tailhook on an aircraft carrier, but I think it could be done in a 172. Taking off again without screwing up would be a feat as well. I think I would just let them unload it at port. They used a C-130 Hercules transport in trials once on a carrier, you know.If you it were the only place to land, would you mind?
In one famous incident during the Fall of Saigon in 1975 a single engine Cessna actually did land successfully aboard the USS Midway.
It is possible.
