For a first ever carrier landing, he did quite well.
Indeed, remarkable story behind it too.

From my post on the O-1E thread.
Fantastic story. It can be unnerving seeing a carrier in the distance on the water, doesn't look possible you could land Anything on it. I've only been on one carrier landing, in an H-34J on the Yorktown. He was waffeling a bit, near stall speed I would guess, but then the deck is moving in the same direction and gives a false sense of speed. Good one!!!!
