(nzwarbirds.org.nz):
A South Vietnamese Air Force major squeezed his wife and five children into the cockpit of a Bird Dog and took off from Con Son Island. With his fuel running low, the major spotted the aircraft carrier USS Midway and a dropped note requesting permission to land. The deck was cleared and a Vietnamese interpreter communicated with the major by radio. He made a slow approach and successful landing despite the fact that, not only had he never landed on an aircraft carrier before, he had never even seen one.
