Bad Idea

Here's a picture of a test flight from the first aircraft carrier - the whole prospect seems rickety at best.

What gets me is the little boat that is directly in the path of the biplane. I can appreciate having boats in the area to help the pilot if he splashes down, but directly in his path? Was this a dare? Was he planning to crash into the little boat?

So it's a landlocked boat - it seems not every deal is a good deal. I have to say, my biggest disappointment is that we had no chance of resorting to obligatory cannibalism.

Sigh - another missed opportunity.
