My father used to pack parachutes at Hobsonville and Guadalcanal during WW2 - every parachute was guaranteed. He told all recipients, that if the parachute did not work as intended, to bring it back and he would repack it, gratis.:D

He also did very well for grog - each airman saved by one of his parachutes would donate a bottle of whiskey or gin. Nice way to make a living.:thumbs:

I interpreted the "carrier" part wrongly. :blush:
Yeah, me too. I thought he meant aircraft carrier.
Perhaps points could be awarded for different types of carrier landing, much like diving.
10 points for plopping your aircraft on a disease carrier, 30 points for landing on the carrier of a bicycle, and 50 points for landing on an aircraft carrier. The survival of all parties could scale these upward or downward depending on your social attitudes.
Obviously destroying a carrier is a pretty neat trick if you are in a DH82, but destroying a bike or some sick dude is pretty easy for anything bigger than a budgie.
