Landing a Corsair on a carrier is hard enough but when your runway is making a pretty good turn to port it's gotta be a bit harder.

Sorry beachgirl. My mind must've slipped in the gutter for a moment....or was it the drink? Either way, you always have to be sure you make good landings, because I'm sure Jack will have a picture of it. :wink:

Yup, that'd be me....... :wink:

Only jesting, of course. I certainly don't want to make light of the actual event...........

That's actually my cousin's VMF-112 Corsair after landing on fire onboard the Bennington
after getting hit in a dogfight over Japan. BTW the other guy didn't make it back at all :!:

As I said, I was just being silly, and in no way was attempting to make light of the situation, Jack.......
