Hi Forest
Yes - it was an amazing aircraft and tough and it carried all that load you described on one engine. And if you had about 20kts of wind to head into you could land them practically without the arrestng gear. But once they stuck a leg in the catwalks it was a job getting them out and back up on the deck.
