Question About A Real Rhino

It's always the same.....AF pukes say: Landing on a boat is no more difficult or dangerous than landing on a 12K ft runway.

That's why you guys have no credibility, even civilians consider you second class to Navy pilots. Landing on the boat is a big deal, regardless of your dismissive attitude.

For someone who doesn't EITHER of those things, you sure speak with authority.

And, Dave, no AF guy on here has said that. You keep setting up straw men and we'll keep knocking them down. We have "no credibility" because we flip Navy pilots sh**? I was starting to give you the benefit of the doubt since you're a USNA grad, but looks like I was wrong in my assessment. I have never in all my life seen someone who knows so little about aviation say so much.

Remember, it's better to keep your mouth shut and have us think you're an idiot than to open it and remove all doubt.

To put it simply, using a drag chute is a matter of procedure, the same as selecting reverse or ensuring that your spoilers deploy. Not always required by the airlines to use either, but they do because it's a procedure. Not only that it saves a lot of wear and tear on the brakesand, prevents inadvertantly taxiing into the ramp with hot brakes.

Please tell me you're joking about actually being in the Navy. Shut up about CV landings. You haven't earned the right to talk about how hard it is/isn't. You sound like some Middie out for a freaking tour. Seriously, log off now, before you spill your juicebox all over your skirt.
