A look at how hard it is to land on a pitching deck at night. Over 20 bolters (missed traps) on the night this was filmed.

I don't see what's so hard about it. I used to do it all the time on Nintendo.

SN Greg Wright - Oh, I watched it. Crazy stuff. It reminded me of something I heard one time that said pilot's heartrates during Vietnam were higher when landing on carriers at night than when in actual combat. Not sure if that's true but it wouldn't surprise me if it was.
