So I am in the TA, doing my usual acrobatics to relax...

The film starts as I complete my 8th Hanger fly through (got the full film will upload it tomorrow from work). I am in a B-17 and have just taken out 3 engines. one on a tree just before the hanger and two inside the hanger....

Being the thoughtful guy I am I decide to park the old girl where the ground crews can get easy access....

Watch the film, have a laugh.

Thanks Guys

The only damage before the ground assisted U-Turn was the props, Bent Number 4 on a tree just before the BH and then clipped Numbers 2 and 3 on the floor of the Hanger....

As you can guess a B-17 with one engine and a bunch of flaps flys real slow, I think thats why I kept my wing when I did the U-turn... I dont think there was any other damage to the plane....

It was just lucky that I was in the external view and I saw the "Parking" opertunity so I applied the Wheel brakes and it ended up pretty much purfect (well I thought it was purfect atleast

)
