The Air Force - Air Force pilots are able to land on stationary runways on land. Naval Aviators must learn to land on a moving runway, not much bigger than a couple of football fields, in day or night, and in all types of weather, as well as traditional runways. For this reason alone, Naval Aviators are considered to be much more proficient fliers than their AF counterparts. Taking off and landing on a postage stamp in the middle of the ocean that's moving is no easy feat.

What is easier to became a Navy pilot or an Air Force pilot?
It of course depends on who you ask, but in general, training for Naval Aviators is more difficult than it is for Air Force pilots. The primary difference is that AF pilots don't have to train to launch and recover from a moving ship in the middle of the ocean in all types of weather, day or night. The analogy is like trying to hit a moving postage stamp in the middle of the ocean. Air Force planes take off and land at fixed-point air bases on solid ground.
