Is a joke methinks. Friend of mine, an Army chopper jockey gave it to me with a smile some years ago. Curiously enough I spoke with one of your kind years ago, an F8 pilot, who described a night launch in rough seas and near 0/0 conditions. Made me a little queasy it did. Would personally prefer a night LZ , blacked out, with red and green tracers providing visual reference.
i like to do that rookie mistake where you fixate on the landing light and wheelbarrow your 172. prop strike is just like a lawnmower hitting a stick, right? you can do it several times before you have to sharpen the propeller
