The teacher let's us listen to CDs on the computer while we work and we can go to any website and play any games as long as there is nothing offensive or sexual.

Well in your interests of still being allowed to surf the web in class I would advise you to stay away from the Olympic volleyball threads in the lav while you are in class--hate for your teacher to get the wrong impession while he/she walks by the computer and sees pics of hot, close-to-naked women falling all over each other [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Well this guy was from a carrier. It is not always normal for them to divert to the island for landing. Its usually when they are low on fuel or for some other reason. So im assuming that the reason he didnt decide to go around was because of that.

I was going to ask if they practice carrier landings on the ground--i.e. do they apply full power in the event they do miss and need to execute a go around . . . if Naval Air Fields use arresting cables on the runway to practice . . . but if he was low on fuel than I don't think he would be trying any of that . . . a la Maverick.
