   Yeah, I was most disappointed that the bridges weren't solid.  I went
through a lot of trouble to set up a good approach to one, only to fly
through it (was expected at least a neat crash on clipping a wire or
something).

   Landing on the carrier without an arrestor hook was a bitch.

   There has to be something fundamentally wrong when a fighter plane
running with top thrust can get stuck in the mud/sand/whatever on
the ground....
