Carrier Pilot - slam it into the numbers, stand on the brakes and take the first turn off, send out the ground crew to pick up the pieces that fell off...

 

USAF Pilot - grease it on and gradually use the entire runway available, gently turn into the last turn off

Very entertaining - and perhaps some truth in there somewhere!

I recall once hearing an announcement after we had landed at Houston Hobby airport, crediting the co-pilot with a smooth landing. The pilot went on to say "That's really unusual for a former Naval aviator."

Did you a hear a soft "F@#! you, captain." over that intercom?

LOL, no.  In fact, the captain went on to mention that his co-pilot was soon due for promotion to captain.

Meanwhile, some paratroopers are thankful you didn´t throw them from the aircraft midflight. Just my 2 cents
