I managed to stick a landing once where I ended up literally dangling over the edge of the CV. But I WAS on the CV.

They gave me a ditch.

Ive done that. You put tailhook down and roll backwards off the deck and you'll end up hanging there.

Last frame in Op: Downfall we were landing B24's on a CV. Had a right side engine gone as well as right side gear. Fear of blowing up on landing without gear so gear down landing, chop throttle and.......slid allll the way down the CV. Then I got shot off the end and died. Filth has the video, I could probably grab a screeny.

I was trying to land a Spitfire in a field when it randomly tipped forwards and got stuck like that, with the front of the plane in the ground.

Also, in a Lancaster, trying to land in a field after going too fast ripped off my ailerons and landing gear, and broke my engines. I was ruddering to try to lose speed, and using my flaps to stay level, and would have made it if I had a little more height, instead I smashed into some trees

this was the result of flying a 262 between 2 trees... I limped it back 2 sectors for a high speed landing.

Well, more of a "How did I make it home to land in the first place", but...

Coupla best landings I have ever done .. B-25 sideways onto a CV in DosAW long ago .. for laffs.

Over A-land ETO one evenin ..in a P-38 ..made a pass thru a furball pulled up an out .. got a ping ..elevator stuck! .. managed to fly it back to C-land and land it usin power, flaps, rolling, and rudder.
Was a blast of a challenge

LOL Guppy. I like how you have you the nosegear panel open, but there's no nosegear. They need to redesign it so that your nosegear deploys from the canopy.

You can stand a A6M on its nose.
