You put 1 .303 round in any gv and stay within 6k.... if he is not on cement he gets a ditch when he towers.

IIRC, HT remarked in the past that landing has to have some sort of challenge and reward, otherwise everyone would just prang it within the confines of the field instead of going to the trouble of actually landing like a normal, rational pilot who knew his crew might snap and kill him if he tore up their plane.

Do y'all remember when I posted in the wish list that we need a tissue box in the tower, or maybe a .tissue soandso command?  "System: Kurt offers Epic a tissue"

And nobody took me seriously...

Well, I hope you're all proud of yourselves!

I dumped a bike while going about 65mph.  That was a biotch, too.  :(

I have that one beat.  

Try putting a wounded one wing Hog down at a VH base on the VH pad.  Best thing about it was the 3 kills were LTARS   :)  :)  :)

VH Base one wing landing
