It wasn't me. You can't prove anything.

Carrier Landing in a Turboprop

I wish there were more videos like this. Just aim the camera out the window and do something cool like land a turboprop craft on an aircraft carrier. This pilot made it look easy.

My grandfather landed Corsairs on World War II era aircraft carriers. He told me that you didn't see the deck at the last second. You had to nose up and that thing is all nose. The reason the wings are swept down like that was to keep the enormous prop off the ground.
