Landed a KC-135 on a CVN!

[Maromak]

Another possible bug.

I have almost completed Empire of Old in EC2003 IOPG. I was viewing the 'Ready Air' box and noticed that a KC-135 had landed on my CVN. I then created a ferry mission to fly them (3) back to Diego which worked fine. I am not sure how they got aboard but I suspect that I 'joined' the tanker with some of my Hornets that were low on gas and then hit 'Land Air'.

Two annoying comments from me on this one [:'(]
 
1. I don't know how much I would consider such behavior a bug or one worth addressing anyhow.  Yes, the game shouldn't allow you to land that KC-135 on a Nimitz-ish carrier, but really you know you shouldn't try to pull that off either.  The game lets you fire a spendy Harpoon at a ship that should have been taken out by a Maverick but that isn't a bug, just bad practice. 
 
2. It is great to report strange behaviors but we really need everyone's assistance in narrowing them down.  Have a look at http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?showforum=46 for guidelines on how to do that and for some good examples that make my life easier and increase the time I spend coding and decrease the time I spend isolating a problem.  Without the assistance our list of accomplishments will shrink dramatically; you've got a sick and miserable programmer, make the best use of him please

Well they landed a C130, I think one could land in a pinch but damage would occur and it surely would not take off again. This seems to me a 'check' in the database on 'carrier capable' would surely fix.

Its not a DB issue, but a code issue where non-carrier capable aircraft 'joined' with carrier capable aircraft take advantage of the latter's ability. Pretty low priority as Tony explained above.

Harm landed a C-130 on a carrier on Jag once. Then the CIA fired him for it

Was this Jag?
 
Anyhow here is a movie of it,

Sorry about the DB issue, I forget its HCE and I only barely know ANW DB's....Hmm code. Yeah not large on this list but one to put in back pocket.
