Getting Home

Who would have thought just getting home after a mission was so easy? The skill and concentration on an easy day is quite demanding let alone throw in some robust weather. Being able to land a powerhouse F18 on a runway takes immense measurable skill or any military aircraft for that matter.
Take a look see at these two videos I was sent a link to. The idea of landing is a simple concept. It's when you make the landing spot a movable object that makes it, well, interesting but the skill and focus needed is unmatched in any field.
Take a look and see.

Anything else is pretty tame in comparison. Nice job guys. It's great to know this kind of skill exists.
