ROFLMA Arlo!!!!

p.s. i just have to add, I asked if you ever go the Dueling Arena, where pilots meet on equal terms, with equal E and Alt, and usually plane.

Somehow to you that isn't flying ability?

A real life input:
A RAF pilot flying his Spitfire on a Rhubarb raid, flying under radar, hit a wavetop with his propeller in the mid English channel.
With a completely hissing engine he landed at Manston.
All propeller blades were bent forwards like a banana.

Another one.

In the thread about the incredible 747 (744) landing there is a link to the big-boys homepage.
Browse through their videos, and you will find a picture of an aerobatics plane flying inverted under a bridge!
Nice

Spit XII pilot Peter Cowell, while flying the often photographed MB882 EB-B, managed to bounce off the Channel waves taking an equal amount of length off all 4 of the composite blades. He managed to get back to the nearest base flying at full throttle with essentially half length prop blades on that XII.

Said it was the scariest moment he had in the entire war.

I see nothing good coming out of this.....

Dear La7, the majority of my posts on the BBS have been sarcasm. If you saw my FIRST post you'll notice I was interested. I made the other comment out of intended comedy.

btw,

Try flying at 90 deg with wing barely touching ground.

Those look like some penny lofers that you are wearing. Where you get them from. I been flying barefooted for months.
