Went to the boat back in March and qualified as an official tailhook pilot. Made 4 touch-and-gos and 10 arrestments in 2 days (along with one waveoff and 3 bolters!). One of the greatest experiences of my life. I took these pictures, and am not in any of them.

And a video: T-45C Landing on carrier

I know your an uneducated moron so I will try to take pity on you and teach you the difference between a boat and a snowmobile.

See, a BOAT floats on the water and doesn't easily sink. That said, it cannot go onto land.

A SNOWMOBILE is a vehicle which can go on water if moving fast enough, but works best on land and on snow.
Well, theres my good deed of the day

yeah I'm sure its fun trying to land on a boat while going full throttle and praying that you snag at least 1 line if not two. Knowing that if you fail and miss the lines you have to try and take back off again or end up in the water and most likely dead. Not to mention the cost of one of those planes.
