Absurd is the right word.  I pulled off an interesting one the other day (not
intentionally of course ;^).  I was approaching the carrier for a landing, and
was quite low.  Anyway, I was further from the deck than I realised when I cut
the power.  I wound up with the nose of the plane butted up against the side of
the carrier, about 2/3s of the way up, with 10% power enough to hold the plane
rock solid.  I sat there for about 10 minutes wondering how the hell I could
ever get the plane back up onto the deck.  (Needless to say I couldn't ;^)

Cheers, Elson
