    The plane needs a low speed and a big attack angle to land on the carrier but it nearly stall and doesn’t have a good controlling with that speed. However, it’s still a impressive plane, good job!

    The way this thing landed and took off was no joke... like holy crap I'm surprised not more people died. It is sad though to know how many did while this thing was in service...

    @TheFantasticTyphoon Thank you -but it's a cutlass, so that should be "exploding engine noises" ;)
