Landing on a flight deck of a carrier is the most difficult feat in all of aviation. No question about that. I respect the pilots who perform this task. The Coupeville OLF is not in spec for this difficult task. If they don't practice, not only their life, but the lives of others are at risk. That is why our pilots deserve a modern up to date outlying field, not Coupeville. Fallon or Moses Lake are both much more appropriate for training our pilots, not the Couple OLF. As it is, Coupeville is so out of spec, the navy can only use it under a waiver. P,ease, for the safety of our pilots, get them out of there.
