ISTR reading in "Flying" magazine or something similar a long time ago
about a small Cessna or Piper making an emergency landing on a carrier
once.


A Cessna O-1A (L-19) landed on USS Midway on April 30, 1975, shortly
before the fall of Saigon. It was flown by a Vietnamese Army major,
who was evacuating himself and his family - he somehow crammed his
wife and five children on board. The O-1/L-19 has two tandem seats,
and is not exactly roomy.
