Are Planes taking off in Thunderstorms normal?

I'm surprised that landings would be more esteemed than
take-offs. I saw an
in-cockpit video of a pilot's first actual catapult
take-off from a carrier
and he sounded pretty impressed by it.


So which is greater, MadMax's abject ignorance about
aviation, or his mind-boggling willingness to flaunt it so
openly in aviation froups?

I was tempted to say the former, but it's a tough call if
you think about it.



Apparently he thinks it is harder to take off than land on a carrier.
I've done both in a COD, and there is something to seeing the smallness
of the ship against the open ocean and watching the deck moving all over
the place as you got closer.

No, he doesn't. Read more carefully.

Yes, he doesn't think at all. He just spews.
