Carrier landing

From USAFA Folklore

Jump to: navigation, search

To perform carrier landings, find a long section of interior hallway in Sijan or Vandenberg Hall, preferably immediately after the floor has been waxed and buffed (to reduce the coefficient of friction). Seal the doors in this section of hallway by jamming towels between the door and step-plate, then flood the hallway with soapy water. Take turns running down the hallway and bellyflopping, seeing who can slide the farthest.

Note: avoid using laundry detergent as your soap, as it can cause severe chemical burns in the groin. Dish soap seems to work the best.
