Which in a modern a/c carrier is just about impossible unless a certain # of a/c are kept in-the-air the whole time.
Still, I wonder if the similar but smaller, twin-engine C-123, esp one w/ the later turbojet pods under the wings, would've done better.
Well, probably still not worth disrupting the sequence of flight-deck ops. Which, from what I understand, carry on pretty much 24/7.
