OK I know this kinda sounds far fetched but it says practice carrier landings… where is the carrier?

Carrier markings are on several different runways at different fields. This is what is meant by “practice” carrier landings.

@Mark_Denton. Could you give an example of an airport with these markings

11

Thatd be so cool to know which fields these are at

As a parent of a child at boarding school I’d just like to say that I fully support keeping the times as they are. ;-)

I’ll try to make it, if anyone sees me (callsign N787SC) then feel free to fly formation with me.

14

Why do you say that?

15

Because I’m a grumpy old git and think that you lot should be concentrating on prep and not playing games on the internets. #slavedriver ;-)

KNKX, Miramar MCAS. Near KSAN.

Note that you won’t be able to pull off a fighter landing because IRL they have cables to arrest the speed from landing:

If you think you can keep up with me, come join me at KPMD on the Casual Server. Annnnnnnd…GO
