No, in a pinch, you're just beclowning yourself with your utter ignorance of carrier air operations.

They're not striking the entire air wing below just so one C-130 can land and take off, and that's assuming a stunt pulled by one elite test pilot was replicable by a bog-standard junior C-130 pilot.

When we had crews that had trained for it and recent operational experience with the capability, it was deemed not worth it.

Trying to stand it up in an emergency now is asking for trouble.

You'd have to be in a really dire situation to risk the carrier and aircraft this way.
