OT: 53,000th Landing on the USS Coral Sea

According to our local paper this happened on July 7th, 1953 and was performed by Lt. James R. Hake of Lancaster, Pa. serving with VF-81. He had been an aerial gunner during the Second World War and was recalled to active duty in 1952. Obviously he learned to fly along the way. They don't mention what type he did it with.
