#1 This just in from Captain LeObvious:

"Landing should never be taken for granted, especially after a long flight..."

#2 "In such a narrow space, having two aircraft carriers close to each other is certainly complicated," Chaperon said.

"It requires close coordination."

Like O'Hare and Midway?

#4 Like O'Hare and Midway?

Sure, if O'Hare and Midway were continuously changing heading and speed (often without warning each other) to gain wind advantage.

Also - don't forget the carrier groups' elements like destroyers, etc.

#7 Landing a Dreamlifter at Jabara. I fire the pilots, then turn right around and offer them a job at higher rank/payscale.

#8 IRAN just repor held a Anti-US/USN, Anti-CVN, MOCK NAVAL DRILL where it successfully blew to smithereenies a barge made to look like a USN NIMITZ-class CVN.

I could be wrong, but I suspect the above is covertly meant to show Iran's desire for an Aircraft Carrier + Other of its own.

Lest we fergit, IRAN = aka Soon-to-Be-Nuclear, "US-Style" OWG Globalist Co-Superpower Rising Iran has in times past made known its intentions to eventually build a de facto Blue-Water-capable Navy.

AS OBAMA'S = USoAMERIKA'S NEW BFF OR BEST FRENEMY FOREVAR! IN THE ME + PERSIAN GULF, IRAN WILL NEED ALL-POWERFUL "OFFENSIVE" + "DEFENSIVE" CONVENTIONAL FORCES, NOT JUST NUCLEAR FORCES, TO CARRY OUT THE GLOBALIST AGENDA AS PRINCIPAL, OR ONE OF THEM, IN ANY FUTURE ME UNION, PERSIAN GULF UNION, MUSLIM UNION, MEDITERRANEAN UNION, ...
@ETC., + EXCLUSIVE OF ITS "BLUE-WATER" NAVAL AMBITIONS.

"US-Style" OWG Co-Superpower Iran will need Super-Techy MODERN AIRCRAFT CARRIERS, + EVERYTHING ELSE.
