I know that I maybe stretching it a bit with the title but this something I have attempted many games (land on a cargo ship)! Did anyone know about this?

Emergency Landing on Cargo Ship Alra by Sea Harrier ZA176. Remarkable news footage on the recovery of Sea Harrier ZA176 and Sub-Lt Ian Watson after the Alraigo docked in Santa Cruz, Tenerife, June 1983.

And there's further proof that it's a sim. A fifteen year old kid was flying the Harrier.

For a bit more on this story:

---EDIT---
Had a Telegraph story there first but the Air & Space is a bit more fleshed out.

900 hours on FA-18's? How comes?

Airplanes are now built to carry a pilot and a dog in the cockpit: the pilot's job is
to feed the dog, and the dog's job is to bite the pilot if he touches anything...
