If it was unauthorised then quite rightly so - it just occured to me that
for all of the hundreds of carrier takeoffs I've seen on video, not one was
a GA aircraft. I just wondered if any GA pilot has ever asked? Or if some GA
pilot knows the captain and has been given permission etc etc etc.

On a carrier, I think it'd properly be called a 'touch and go then
guantanamo bay'.



During the Korean War, a friend of mine ferried Army staff officers to
the Hornet to plan the Inchon invasion -- in an L-17 Navion.

After the fall of Saigon, RVN pilots (with families aboard) landed L-19s
on carriers to escape the Communists. One of those L-19s is on display
at the pensacola museum.
